Anas, Ismail, Shireen: The names of Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel
Israel’s war has not only destroyed and starved Gaza; it has also systematically killed those documenting its atrocities. Among the dead, Al Jazeera’s several journalists stood as both witnesses and victims of what rights groups describe as genocide.
The latest was Mohammad Salama, killed today in an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, alongside four other journalists. Legal experts say such attacks form part of a wider pattern of systematically targeting journalists.
On December 14, 2023, cameraman Samer Abudaqa was struck while reporting with Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh, who was injured in the attack but survived. Abudaqa was left to bleed to death after Israeli forces blocked medics from reaching him.
On January 7, 2024, Wael’s eldest son and fellow journalist Hamza Dahdouh was killed when a missile hit his car. Video journalist Mustafa Thuraya was killed in the same attack.

In all, at least 11 Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in Israel’s latest war on Gaza, part of a broader toll of about 240 media workers.
