Tragic Loss: Palestinian Journalist Hassan Hamad Killed in Israeli Attack
Israeli forces conducted an airstrike on the home of Palestinian journalist Hassan Hamad in Jabalia refugee camp, resulting in his tragic death. Before his untimely demise, Hamad had received warnings from an Israeli officer to stop filming in Gaza, highlighting the risks journalists face in conflict zones.
With Hamad’s death, the toll of journalists killed in the ongoing war in Gaza has reached 175, as per Gaza’s Government Media Office. Colleagues and officials confirmed that Hamad’s home was deliberately targeted to silence him after he continued to document the war despite threats.
Described as a dedicated journalist who worked tirelessly to cover the conflict, Hamad’s commitment to his work was evident in his final moments. Despite facing intimidation and danger, he persisted in sharing the truth through his reporting.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) condemned the attack and emphasized the importance of preserving press freedom. As the world mourns the loss of another journalist, the call for justice and accountability grows louder.
