An Israeli double-tap strike killed Palestinian journalist Mohammed Samir Wishah in Gaza City on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old Al Jazeera Mubasher reporter was travelling in his vehicle with a colleague to cover a story when an Israeli drone struck the car twice, according to colleagues and eyewitnesses.
“The vehicle was hit the first time and caught fire. When civil defence teams and ambulances arrived, clearly marked and with medical personnel present, the site was targeted again,” a paramedic who reached the scene shortly after the strike said in a video circulated on social media.
“The bodies were charred, and there were around 10–20 injuries in the second strike, as people had gathered around the vehicle when it was hit again.”
Originally from the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, Wishah had been travelling to Gaza City to cover a humanitarian story, carrying his microphone and equipment, colleagues said.
