Al Jazeera reporter's son dreamed to be a journalist. The Israeli army killed him

Mahmoud al-Dahdouh was proud of his father’s work, and wanted to follow in his footsteps.

The son of Wael al-Dahdouh, Al Jazeera's chief correspondent in Gaza, was inspired by his father’s coverage, which had earned him the title of “the voice of Palestinians in Gaza”.

Mahmoud was in his final year of high school and working hard to become a journalist. 

However, the dreams of the teenager were cut short when he was killed on Wednesday evening in an Israeli bombing in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, which had been designated a safe zone by the Israeli army.

Mahmoud, along with his sister, mother and nephew, were killed despite Wael’s efforts to separate them in case of a bombing, so he wouldn’t lose them all in one go if the worst was to happen - a tactic employed by many Palestinians during times of war.
