According to their colleague Anas Al Sharif, cinematographer Rami al Refee and reporter Ismail al Ghoul had been assigned to film close to Hamas political commander Ismail Haniyeh’s home when they passed away.
According to the network and ambulance service, the two men and an unidentified child were riding in a car when it was hit by a bomb in Gaza City.
The two were reporting from Haniyeh’s birthplace, the Shati urban refugee camp, according to the news agency.
Regarding the journalists’ deaths, the Israeli army refrained from commenting right away.
According to the government media agency controlled by Hamas, their deaths bring the overall number of Palestinian journalists murdered in Israel’s nearly 10-month-long operation in Gaza to 165.
Since Israel began its retaliatory offensive against Hamas on October 7, after the Islamist group massacred 1,200 people in southern Israel and kidnapped over 250 hostages, more than 39,400 Palestinians have died in Gaza.
