Veteran reporter vows to carry on after losing fifth family member in Gaza

The Hindu  

An apparent Israeli air strike killed two Palestinian journalists in southern Gaza on Sunday, including the son of veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Wael Dahdouh, who lost his wife, two other children and a grandson — and was nearly killed himself — earlier in the war. Familiar face Mr. Wael Dahdouh, 53, has been the face of Al Jazeera’s 24-hour coverage of this war and previous rounds of fighting for millions of Arabic-speaking viewers across the region, nearly always appearing on air in the blue helmet and flak jacket worn to identify journalists in the Palestinian territories. It is also unfair for us as journalists.” In a statement, Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately targeting the reporters and condemned the “ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against journalists and media professionals in Gaza.” ‘Legal measures’ It also vowed to take “all legal measures to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes.” Mr. Wael Dahdouh was reporting on the offensive in late October when he received word that his wife, daughter and another son had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. In December, an Israeli strike on a school in Khan Younis wounded Mr. Wael Dahdouh and Al Jazeera cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa.
