Fifth channel journalist killed
The spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense, Mahmoud Bassal, confirmed the death of the journalist during this strike, which also cost the lives of three Civil Defense rescuers, according to him. He added that a military plane had “targeted the Civil Defense site in the Nusseirat camp.” Contacted by AFP, the Israeli army said it was examining this information.
Ahmed al-Louh, 39, is the fifth Al Jazeera journalist killed since the start of the war in Gaza, triggered on October 7, 2023 by the unprecedented attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on Israeli territory.
Israeli authorities have repeatedly accused Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza of being “terrorist agents”, allegations constantly rejected by the channel, which accuses Israel of systematically targeting its reporters in the besieged territory. The channel has also been banned since May from operating and broadcasting in Israel, and its local office was bombed.
