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.

Remembering Ahmed Wishah, The Latest Palestinian Journalist Killed in Israel

Israel is continuing to attack Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire. Israeli strikes killed Ahmed Wishah, a cameraman with Al Jazeera, and at least six people, including two children, on Saturday. Wishah’s brother Mohammed, who also worked for Al Jazeera, was killed in an Israeli strike this April. Israel has now killed over 260 journalists in Gaza, including at least 12 working for Al Jazeera, since October 2023. “We don’t see the type of outrage that we would see if a Western journalist was killed by a country that is not a U.S. ally,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. “It’s really a shameful state of affairs.” Kouddous also comments on the expansion of Israel’s “genocidal tactics” in Gaza that have now been “exported outside of Palestine in places like Lebanon.”
