Al Jazeera Arabic cameraman was killed in an Israeli attack in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
riends and colleagues have paid tribute to Samer Abudaqa, an Al Jazeera journalist killed in an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip.
Al Jazeera confirmed on Friday that Abudaqa, a cameraman for Al Jazeera Arabic in Gaza, had been hit by an Israeli attack while reporting at a school in Khan Younis.
His colleague Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Wael Dahdouh, who lost his wife, son, daughter and grandson in a previous Israeli bombing, was wounded in the attack.
“Al Jazeera holds the Israeli Occupation Forces fully accountable for Samer’s safety, deeming this incident a deliberate attempt to target its correspondents and their families in the Gaza Strip,” Al Jazeera said in a statement.
Abudaqa and Dahdouh had worked tirelessly to cover the war between Israel and Hamas, paying special attention to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, where Israeli siege and bombardment have displaced more than 80 percent of the population and plunged the enclave into a humanitarian crisis.
