Hamza Waël Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief Waël al-Dahdouh, and Moustafa Thuraya, a freelance videographer working for the AFP, were killed on Sunday while driving in Rafah, on the southern tip of the Palestinian Authority area.
“Al Jazeera strongly condemns Israeli occupation forces' targeting of Palestinian journalists' car,” the channel said in a statement, accusing Israel of “violating the principles of press freedom.”
