#Gaza: 🔴 Hassan Hamad, one of the last journalists still reporting from the northern enclave, was killed yesterday, in a targeted Israeli strike, according to RSF’s information, as he was about to send footage from home after a report.
Before the strike, the freelance reporter had been covering an Israeli incursion into the camp for Media Town, which began on Saturday night. According to his X account, his last messages were published shortly before his death.
In the preceding months, Hassan Hamad had told his colleagues and others that he had received threats in the form of a text message on his phone on May 13, 2024, and multiple phone calls ordering him to leave the northern Gaza Strip or risk being killed. The young reporter refused to comply and continued to work until his final moments.
The tragic death of Hassan Hamad marks the disappearance of one of the last accessible sources of information in the north of the Gaza Strip. Impunity must end.
