Two relatives of Wael Al-Dahdouh, director of Al-Jazeera's office in Gaza, were killed in a raid that targeted their car on Monday in Rafah, according to what the Gaza Ministry of Health and a number of their relatives reported.

A spokesman for the ministry in Gaza said that the occupation army “killed three citizens, targeting a civilian car,” and offered its condolences to Wael Al-Dahdouh, who lost his wife and three children since the start of the aggression.

A journalist confirmed to Agence France-Presse that the two brothers, Muhammad and Ahmed Al-Dahdouh, are his nephews. Scenes filmed by Agence France-Presse showed the destruction of the roof of the car and the process of pulling a body from it.

According to one of their relatives, Muhammad and Ahmed Al-Dahdouh, an accountant and engineer, aged 30 and 26, lived before the war with their family in the northern Palestinian territories near Gaza City, before they fled to the south, arriving two weeks ago in Rafah.
