Al Jazeera Media Network condemns in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of Al Jazeera Arabic Channel’s correspondent Ismail Al Ghoul and cameraman Rami Al Rifi after being targeted by Israeli occupation forces while covering in Al Shatei Camp.
 
The Israeli occupation forces targeted the vehicle in which Ismail and Rami were targeted with a missile, resulting in cold-blooded assassination. This latest attack on Al Jazeera journalists is part of a systematic targeting campaign against the network's journalists and their families since October 2023.
 
Ismail was renowned for his professionalism and dedication, bringing global attention to the suffering of the people of Gaza and the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation forces.
 
His coverage of Al-Shifa Hospital and the northern neighbourhoods captured international attention and was widely disseminated by global media outlets. Despite facing extreme hardships, including hunger, illness, and the loss of his father and brother, Ismail relentlessly dedicated himself to covering events and delivering the reality of Gaza to the world.
 
The assassination of Ismail and Rami, while they were documenting the crimes of Israeli forces, underscores the urgent need for immediate legal action against the occupation forces to ensure that there is no impunity.
 
Al Jazeera condemns the ongoing crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces against journalists and media professionals in Gaza in the strongest possible terms. This alarming trend demands immediate attention and action from the international community. We urge international legal institutions to hold Israel accountable for its heinous crimes and to demand an end to the targeting and killing of journalists.
 
Al Jazeera pledges to pursue all legal actions to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes and stands in unwavering solidarity with all journalists in Gaza. Al Jazeera reaffirms its commitment to achieving justice for more than 160 journalists killed and to continuing its coverage of these grave violations.
