Gaza: Israeli Forces Kill Second Palestinian Journalist
After Yaser Murtaja, Ahmed Abu Hussein, another Gazan photojournalist, who was seriously injured last Friday while documenting the March of Return, succumbed to injuries Wednesday afternoon, Gaza’s Health Ministry has said.
Hussein was stationed at a permissible distance from the border fence when an Israeli sniper shot the 24-year-old journalist in the stomach, causing grave injuries.
Hussein was working as a photojournalist for Gaza’s Al-Shaab radio station and wore a protective vest marked “Press” at the protest on April 13, witnesses said, according to Reuters.
