Israel kills two more journalists in Gaza, including son of Aljazeera bureau chief Wael Dahdouh

Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh mourns his son Hamza, also a journalist, who was killed with a colleague in an Israeli strike near Rafah in southern Gaza on Sunday.

It comes after Wael himself lost most of his family, including his wife and two other children, also in Israeli airstrikes in late October.

Hamza Al-Dahdouh was killed alongside colleague Mustafa Thuraya. Both were freelance journalists. A third freelancer, Hazem Rajab, was wounded.

Israel's war on Gaza which started on October 7 has been deadly for journalists. The Committee for the Protection of Journalists, an international watchdog, said that as of Saturday, 77 journalists and media workers had been killed - 70 Palestinians, four Israelis and three Lebanese.

But the government media office in Gaza said the two new deaths raised its tally of journalists killed by the Israeli offensive to 109.
