Al Jazeera condemns targeting of two journalists in Gaza

9 October 2024 20:38 BST

Aljazeera has condemned the targeting of two of its journalists in north Gaza by Israel over the last 48 hours, calling it "another grave violation... where Israeli forces have been increasingly hostile to media workers".

The network confirmed that one of its Arabic-language journalists, Fadi al-Wahidi, was shot in the neck earlier on Wednesday. He was working "in and around Jabalia camp" when he was critically injured, the statement said. 

Wahidi's colleague, Ali al-Attar, was also wounded in the head two days prior. He is in "critical condition" and "deprived of the necessary medical care due to the siege imposed on the area", Aljazeera said. 

"The deliberate targeting of journalists is a flagrant violation of international laws protecting the press and humanitarian workers in war zones."

Earlier this week, 19-year-old Aljazeera journalist Hassan Hamad was killed in his home in Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza. The network has lost five of its journalists in the besieged enclave since 7 October 2023.
