Al Jazeera's correspondents were injured while covering a bombing in Khan Yunis, Gaza
Journalists Wael Al-Dahdouh, Al Jazeera's correspondent, and Samer Abu Daqqa, the channel's cameraman, were injured while covering an Israeli bombing that targeted a school in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, while appeals were made to evacuate the trapped and injured people from the place.
Al Jazeera correspondent Heba Akila said that two colleagues, Wael and Samer, were injured while working in the vicinity of a school targeted by the occupation forces on Friday morning.
She added that the two colleagues were injured by fragments of a missile fired by an Israeli reconnaissance plane.
She explained that colleague Wael was injured in the arm and was transferred to Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis to receive treatment, while colleague Samer Abu Daqqa is still trapped inside Farhana School, as ambulance teams were unable to evacuate the wounded from the school.
Targeting journalists
About 90 journalists have been killed since the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, amid journalistic and human rights associations denouncing what they describe as the direct targeting of journalists and photographers for the purpose of obscuring the facts.
