Missile strike
Noor Abu Oweimer, a Palestinian journalist and a freelance podcaster for Qatari-based Al Jazeera Mubashar, was killed on October 3, 2024, from injuries she sustained in a July Israeli bombing of her family’s home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to SKeyes and her brother, who spoke to CPJ.
Abu Oweimer, 21, had just started her third year as a faculty member of the Journalism and Media department at the Islamic University in Gaza City when the war began in October 2023, and she immediately started working on podcasts and reporting on her social media pages about what was happening in Gaza.
Abu Oweimer’s brother, Zaid Abu Oweimer, told CPJ that “the Israeli warplanes bombed our family home…which led to the martyrdom of my mother and my younger sister, while Nour suffered severe burns and wounds, and my other brothers, their wives, and their children suffered minor injuries.”
