Palestinian reporter killed by Israeli drone in his car
Drone strike
Ahmed Abu Al-Rous, a 29-year-old Palestinian journalist who worked as a reporter and photographer for the local Assulta Arrabaa (Fourth Estate) news agency, was one of five people killed when an Israeli drone strike hit his car on January 15, 2025, at the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, days before a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza began.
His father, Hisham Abu Al-Rous, told CPJ that: “At around 5 p.m. on Wednesday, a few days before the truce went into effect, Ahmed was driving his car with his twin brother Mohammed and three friends in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Of course, they did not pose any threat to the Israeli occupation, so an Israeli drone fired a single missile at them, killing all five.”
