GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune confirmed on Monday that the killing of Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip is “a disgrace that will haunt Israel.”
This came in a condolence letter published by the Algerian presidency after the killing of journalist Hamza Al-Dahdouh, the son of Al-Jazeera TV correspondent in Gaza, Wael Al-Dahdouh.
“Hamza rose as a martyr to join most of his family members who were killed during the barbaric Zionist aggression in an intentional targeting of media crews and in a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law,” the letter reads.
The letter also mourned all the journalists killed during the Israeli attacks, saying that “their memory will remain immortal.”
The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza announced on Sunday the killing of the two journalists as Israeli aircraft hit a vehicle carrying press members on duty in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Hamza al-Dahdouh is the son of Al Jazeera Gaza bureau director Wael Al-Dahdouh. Wael’s wife, son, daughter, and granddaughter were all killed in a previous Israeli attack that targeted a house they had resorted to in Central Gaza.
In December, Wael himself was also injured in another Israeli bombing while covering Israeli attacks on the city of Khan Younis.
