Two Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attack in Gaza; Al Jazeera alleges deliberate targeting, IDF cites collateral damage

Two Palestinian journalists working for Al Jazeera, Hamza AlDahdooh and Mustafa Thuraya, were killed in an Israeli attack on their vehicle in Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

Al Jazeera denounces the incidents as systematic targeting, particularly highlighting the attacks on AlDahdooh's family, and calls for international legal action against Israel.

Israeli defense forces (IDF) conveyed to AFP that they had targeted an individual launching a flying object posing a threat to Israeli troops, acknowledging collateral damage.
