An Israeli strike in Gaza on Saturday killed six people, including Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah, according to Gaza officials and the network. Al Jazeera said Wishah was killed in a targeted strike , and his death drew mourning from colleagues and family.
The killing comes despite a ceasefire that has not halted Israeli operations, and adds to a journalist death toll that press-freedom groups have called the highest of any recent conflict. Israel has previously accused some Al Jazeera staff in Gaza of links to armed groups — claims the network rejects — and the targeting of journalists remains one of the war’s most contested issues.
