An Al Jazeera correspondent and a photojournalist have been seriously injured in an Israeli airstrike that allegedly targeted the pair while they were working in Gaza.
According to the Doha-based news network, Ismail Abu Omar, one of its correspondents, and his camera operator, Ahmad Matar, were in northern Rafah where they were documenting the living conditions of displaced Palestinian families when they were directly targeted by a missile fired by a drone.
The two journalists were transferred to Gaza’s European hospital, where doctors amputated Omar’s leg in an effort to save his life.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the two were hit in a strike from an Israeli warplane in the Moraj area.
The channel’s Gaza bureau chief, Wael al-Dahdouh, lost his wife, Amna, son Mahmoud, daughter Sham and grandson Adam in an Israeli air raid.
Dahdouh was later wounded in an Israeli drone strike that killed his colleague, the Al Jazeera camera operator Samer Abu Daqqa, while Dahdouh’s eldest son, Hamza, a journalist who also worked with Al Jazeera, was killed in an Israeli attack alongside fellow journalist Mustafa Thuraya.
