Ahmad al-Louh killed in Israeli strike on civil defense point in Nuseirat refugee camp, according to medics
Three Palestinians were killed, including a cameraman for the Qatari television Al Jazeera, in an Israeli airstrike in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday, medics said.
The Doha-based television said that its cameraman Ahmad Louh was killed while covering Israeli attacks in central Gaza.
Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza confirmed that Louh lost his life in a strike targeting a civil defense point in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Two civil defense members were also killed in the attack, according to Zaki Imad Al-Din, a member of the Civil Defense Agency.
The cameraman's death brought the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since last year to 196, according to Gaza's government media office.
Israel has launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that has killed nearly 45,000 victims, mostly women and children, since a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and the blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants last month for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense chief Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on Gaza.
