In a tragic incident, two journalists were killed in an Israeli air strike in the Palestinian territory, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for AFP news agency, and Hamza Wael Dahdouh, a journalist with Al Jazeera television network, lost their lives while traveling in a car. The father of Hamza, Wael al-Dahdouh, who is Al Jazeera’s bureau chief in Gaza, was also recently injured in another Israeli strike, which resulted in the death of his wife and two children during the early weeks of the war. Thuria had been associated with AFP since 2019.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists reported that as of December 31, a total of 77 journalists and media workers had been killed since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began on October 7. Among the casualties, 70 were Palestinian, four were Israeli, and three were Lebanese.
