Al Jazeera condemns the Israeli Army's deliberate targeting of its correspondent in Rafah, Ismail Abu Omar

Today, Tuesday, February 13, 2024, Israeli occupation forces targeted the Al Jazeera crew in the Mirage area, north of Rafah, by a drone, seriously injuring Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Ismail Abu Omar, which led to the amputation of his leg, and the serious injury of photojournalist Ahmed Matar.

Al Jazeera Media Network confirms that targeting of the correspondent Ismail and the photojournalist Ahmed is a full-fledged crime added to Israel’s crimes against journalists, and a new part in the series of the deliberate targeting of Al Jazeera’s journalists and correspondents in Palestine.

The network stresses that this targeting comes as intimidation to journalists to prevent them from reporting the heinous crimes committed by the occupation army against innocent civilians in Gaza.

Al Jazeera renews its call on the international community and media freedom organizations to take immediate measures to protect journalists in Gaza and to hold the Israeli occupation army accountable.
