Two journalists working for Al Jazeera Arabic were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Wednesday, July 31, after reporting from the ruined home of slain Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, according to
Al Jazeera.Shortly before their deaths, reporter Ismail al-Ghoul and his cameraman, Rami al-Rifi, had produced a
live report from the ruins of Haniyeh’s home in al-Shati Camp and posted images on social media showing children holding up portraits of the Hamas leader while standing on the rubble of his home.In a statement on X, Al Jazeera’s Managing Editor Mohamed Moawad
said: “Ismail was a determined journalist who refused to succumb to hunger, illness, and the loss of his brother.”In a
report published earlier on Wednesday, the Committee to Protect Journalists (
CPJ) said at least 111 journalists and media workers had been killed in Gaza since October 8. Credit: Ismail Al-Ghoul via Storyful
