LONDON: Palestinian photojournalist Mohammad Wadi was killed along with two other people in an Israeli strike on Tuesday morning in the Gaza Strip, according to local reports.
Wadi was reportedly hit in a drone strike east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza — an area under Israeli military control — while documenting the situation on the ground. Sources said he died instantly.
Journalist Mohammed Abdel Fattah Aslih — the brother of journalist Hassan Aslih, who was killed in an Israeli strike on the emergency department of Nasser Hospital in May — was wounded in the same attack.
In two separate incidents, another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli drone strike in central Khan Younis, and a third was shot dead in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.
According to accounts that Arab News could not independently verify, Wadi was a well-known wedding photographer in Khan Younis before turning to documenting the conflict in Gaza, after his Quds Studio was destroyed by an Israeli bombardment.
