💥AL JAZEERA NEWS JOURNALIST KILLED BY OCCUPATION FORCES IN KHAN YUNIS💥
An Al-Jazeera News cameraman was killed as a result of injuries incurred in the course of his work in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, Al Jazeera announced Friday.
Samer Abu Daqqa, a cameraman for Al Jazeera News, was killed as a result of injuries incurred from shrapnel as a result of Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) attacks in the vicinity of Ferkhane School in Khan Yunis.
After being wounded in the attack, Abu Daqqa sought shelter near the school, where attacks continued, denying access to ambulances, which could not enter the area surrounded by the IOF.
Medic teams were unable to gain access to Abu Daqqa for hours as the cameraman bled from his injuries, and were ultimately unable to get him to a hospital in time.
Another Palestinian reporter from Gaza, Wael ed-Dahduh, was also injured as a result of the same shrapnel that hit the Abu Daqqa.
In addition to Abu Daqqa, three Civil Defense personnel were also killed, along with a number of civilians trapped in the school as a result of Israeli attacks.
Abu Daqqa, a father of four, was the 57th journalist killed by the IOF since October 7th, and the 13th Al Jazeera News journalist killed since the network was launched in November, 1996.
