Separate Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed two media workers, including an Al Jazeera journalist.
Hossam Shabat, a journalist who worked for Al Jazeera Mubasher, was killed in northern Gaza on Monday. Witnesses told the network that his car was targeted in the eastern part of Beit Lahiya.
Azzoum said Shabat, 23, had been previously wounded in another Israeli attack “but he insisted on continuing news reporting” in Gaza.
“The Israeli military targeted his vehicle” without giving “any prior warning”, Abu Azzoum said.
The colleagues of Shabat, have shared his final words.
In a post on X, prewritten by Shabat, he wrote, “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed — most likely targeted — by the Israeli occupation forces.”
