Missile strike
Hassan Al-Qishawi, a Palestinian freelance photographer who worked for news site Gaza Media and its affiliated humanitarian organization INH, was killed on January 2, 2025, in an Israeli drone strike in western Gaza City while documenting the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike, according to the press freedom organization SKeyes, news reports, and his brother, who spoke to CPJ.
