Voices silenced in 2024
Hamza Al Dahdouh
Murdered in Gaza
A 27-year-old camera operator for Al Jazeera, Al Dahdouh was targeted in an Israeli drone strike on January 7, along with freelance video journalist Mustafa Thuraya, as they were returning from reporting on refugees displaced by Israeli bombings in southern Gaza.
Al Dahdouh’s father, Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief, Wael Al Dahdouh, had lost four other family members in Israeli attacks before the murder of his son.
Israel made unsubstantiated claims that Al Dahdouh was a terrorist, accusations his outlet and family vehemently denied. “He, like so many journalists before him, was killed simply for doing his job and for shining a light on events that the Israeli army would rather stay in the dark and hidden from scrutiny,” Al Jazeera told Middle East Eye.
