Video: Israel kills journalist Ahmed Wishah in Gaza

Video: Israel kills journalist Ahmed Wishah in Gaza Al Jazeera journalist and cameraman Ahmed Wishah was killed in an Israeli air strike on the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, according to health officials. The strike reportedly killed three people. Other attacks across Gaza on the same day were also reported to have killed additional Palestinians, including women and children. Wishah's death adds to the growing number of journalists killed during the war in Gaza. Press freedom organisations have repeatedly described the territory as the deadliest place in the world for journalists. He was killed two months after his brother, Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah, was killed in an Israeli attack. Media and rights groups say the mounting toll on journalists has severely limited independent reporting from Gaza and increased concerns over press freedom and the safety of reporters working in the territory.
