Gaza [Palestine], January 8: Hamza Dahdouh, the eldest son of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, has been killed by an Israeli missile strike in the western part of Khan Younis, Gaza.
Journalist Mustafa Thuraya was also killed in the attack, when the vehicle they were travelling in near al-Mawasi, a supposedly safe area towards the southwest, was struck by the missile. A third passenger, Hazem Rajab, was seriously injured.
According to reports from Al Jazeera correspondents, Hamza and Mustafa's vehicle was targeted as they were trying to interview civilians displaced by previous bombings. Hamza, 27, was a journalist like his father. Mustafa was also in his 20s.
Speaking from the cemetery where his son had been laid to rest, Wael seemed subdued yet resigned, saying he was one of the droves of people in Gaza today who are bidding bitter farewells to their loved ones every day. He vowed to remain on his path of showing the world what is happening in Gaza, despite the pain of one loss after another.
"Hamza was everything to me, the eldest boy, he was the soul of my soul. these are the tears of parting and loss, the tears of humanity," he said. (Agencies)
