A journalist with Al Jazeera is mourning the death of his son, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.
According to the journalist, Wael Al-Dahdouh, his 27-year-old son, Hamzah Al-Dahdouh, was working as a freelance journalist, driving in Gaza and using a drone to capture footage, when his vehicle was hit by an Israeli airstrike on January 7, 2024.
Wael buried his son and returned to work the following day.
“Hamzah was all mine, he was my breath, and he was my soul, but certainly this loss and this pain will not stop us from continuing on this path. It will not deter us from continuing to perform this duty,” he told our source, ABC News in Gaza.
Sadly, Hamzah was not the first family member Al-Dahdouh has buried since the war began: his wife, daughter, one other son and a grandson have all been killed.
What's your reaction?
