Mariam Dagga, 33, who had been working as a freelance journalist for The Associated Press since the conflict began in October 2022, was among the journalists killed, the AP reported, saying it was „shocked and saddened” by the deaths.
Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammed Salama was killed, Al Jazeera Media Network confirmed, saying in a statement that it „condemns, in the strongest possible terms, this horrific crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces, who have directly targeted and assassinated journalists as part of a systematic campaign to silence the truth.“
Ahmad Abu Aziz, Middle East Eye’s primary correspondent in southern Gaza, was among the journalists killed, the U.K.-based outlet confirmed. The 28-year-old Gazan „relentlessly reported“ from Gaza while working through „pain, displacement, hunger and bombardment“, the outlet said.
