Hassona contributed to several news outlets, including the local platform Untold Palestine and the U.S.-based outlet Mondoweiss. She also featured prominently in a documentary due to premiere during the Cannes Film Festival.
Hassona’s brother, Jihad, told CPJ that he spoke to his sister at 1 a.m., about an hour before she and five other siblings were killed.
