Al Jazeera has confirmed that one of its journalists, Mohammad Salama, was killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza, just two weeks after the network lost six other staff and freelancers in a separate attack.
Salama, a photojournalist and cameraman, died on Monday in an attack on a medical complex in Khan Younis, which also left 14 people dead, the Qatar-based broadcaster said in a statement.
A spokesperson for Al Jazeera told AFP that his death had been “confirmed.”
Previous Losses
Earlier this month, four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelancers were killed in an Israeli air strike near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, an incident that drew widespread international condemnation.
Details of the Attack
According to Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defence, the latest strike involved an Israeli explosive drone that targeted a building inside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
He said the drone attack was followed by an air strike while the wounded were being evacuated, raising the death toll to at least 14 people, including journalists.
Mounting Concerns
The killing of media workers in Gaza has raised growing concerns among press freedom groups, humanitarian organisations, and governments, many of whom have urged greater protection for journalists covering the ongoing conflict.
Al Jazeera has yet to issue further details on Salama’s funeral arrangements but reiterated its call for accountability over attacks on its staff.
