Aljazeera condemns killing of its journalists

“Al Jazeera Media Network condemns in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of Al Jazeera Arabic Channel’s correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifi after being targeted by Israeli occupation forces while covering in Shati Camp,” Aljazeera published on its website today.

The journalists were reportedly targeted while travelling in a vehicle, resulting in a "cold-blooded assassination".

The Qatar-based network labelled the killing a “systematic targeting campaign against the network’s journalists and their families since October 2023."

"The assassination of Ismail and Rami, while they were documenting the crimes of Israeli forces, underscores the urgent need for immediate legal action against the occupation forces to ensure that there is no impunity", Aljazeera added.
