Other non-natural
Al-Zuweidi, a Palestinian journalist and camera operator for the privately owned Cairo-based broadcaster Al-Ghad, was killed on January 14, along with his brother and cousin, in an Israeli airstrike on Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza while al-Zuweidi was on his way to see what happened to his home in the aftermath of heavy bombing, according to his employer, the Beirut based press freedom group SKeyes, The New Arab, and the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate.
Al-Zuweidi, 27, had been working with Al-Ghad for six years, and covered the war and various other events in Gaza, according to the broadcaster. Al-Ghad said that Al-Zuweidi didn’t stop reporting on the ongoing war; he kept filming from northern Gaza and sending footage to the channel after it was impossible for him to evacuate south to Rafah.
