Other non-natural
Nadia Emad Al Sayed, a Palestinian freelance broadcast host, was killed alongside eight others in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinian families in Shati camp in Gaza City on October 27, 2024.
The airstrike also killed Saed Radwan, a reporter with Al-Aqsa TV, and freelance journalist Haneen Baroud.
Emad Al Sayed’s husband, Muhammad Masoud, told CPJ they were surprised when Israel began bombing the school around 1:15 p.m., including one of the classrooms they turned into a make-shift newsroom.
The head of the programs department at Al-Aqsa Radio, Ahmed Zughbour, told CPJ that “the strike was direct to the classroom they were in to the point that our colleague Saed was shattered into pieces, and our colleague Nadia was also difficult to recognize at first.”
CPJ emailed the IDF’s North America Desk inquiring whether it knew that civilians and journalists were in the school when Israeli forces bombed it but did not immediately receive any response.
