Hamas accused Israel of killing a cameraman for a television station it operates in the Gaza Strip, while Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera also blamed Israeli forces for wounding one of its journalists in the territory’s north.

Muhammad al-Tanani, a cameraman for Al-Aqsa TV, was buried yesterday afternoon by colleagues at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in northern Gaza City, according to AFP journalists.

In a statement, Hamas’s press office called his killing a “despicable crime” and said the Israeli army was “fully responsible”, without offering details of the circumstances of his death.

Al Jazeera, meanwhile, said that one of its cameramen, Fadi al-Wahidi, was “injured by Israeli gunfire in northern Gaza, becoming the second Al Jazeera cameraman to be injured in an Israeli attack this week”.

According to an AFP journalist who was present, Wahidi was wounded in the neck in Jabalia, north of Gaza City, while covering Israeli operations in an area the army had previously told civilians to evacuate.

Al Jazeera said on X that his condition was critical.

The Israeli army did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment on the two incidents.
