"Al Jazeera Journalist Loses Fifth Family Member to Israeli Strikes in Gaza"

An Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza killed two Palestinian journalists, including the son of veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Wael Dahdouh, who had lost four close relatives in a previous Israeli strike. Dozens of Palestinian journalists have been killed while covering the conflict, and Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately targeting the reporters. The war has taken a devastating toll on Palestinian journalists and civilians, with over 22,800 Palestinians killed, mostly women and minors, and 1,200 people, mostly civilians, killed in Israel during the initial Hamas attack. Israel denies targeting journalists and says it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians, while Palestinian journalists have played an essential role in reporting on the conflict despite personal losses and displacement.
