Journalists Under Attack in Gaza Conflict

Death toll of journalists in ongoing war surpasses that of Ukraine, with Al Jazeera's Wael al-Dahdouh losing multiple family members.

Al Jazeera journalist Wael al-Dahdouh's son, Hamza Dahdouh, and fellow journalist Mustafa Thuraya were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
Since the start of the war in October, at least 79 journalists and media workers have been killed, with local Palestinian authorities estimating the number to be over 100.
Israeli authorities claim the strike that killed Dahdouh's son was targeting a 'terrorist' operating a drone that put Israeli forces 'at risk'.
Media organizations and rights groups, including Al Jazeera and the Committee to Protect Journalists, accuse Israel of deliberately targeting journalists and violating principles of freedom of the press.
Despite the loss of his family members and colleagues, Wael al-Dahdouh vows to continue reporting on the conflict.
