Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah has been killed in an Israeli air strike on a residential building in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Wishah was among two people who lost their lives in the attack, while at least one other Palestinian sustained injuries, according to Al Jazeera journalists reporting from the scene.
Al Jazeera said it “strongly condemns the heinous crime of targeting and killing” the Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent.
“This constitutes a new and flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and reflects a continued systematic policy of targeting journalists and silencing the voice of truth,” said the Al Jazeera statement.
The latest strike in Bureij camp pushed the number of people killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Saturday to 10.
Among those killed were four members of the same family, including two children, after an Israeli strike hit their home in central Gaza City.
Elsewhere, a man was reported killed in an attack north of Gaza City, while a woman died after coming under Israeli fire in the northern town of Beit Lahia, according to reports from Al Jazeera correspondents.
Israeli attacks were also reported near groups of civilians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood and in western Khan Younis, leaving at least one person dead and several others injured.
Ahmed Wishah was the brother of Mohammed Wishah, who Palestinian civil defence authorities said was killed on April 8 when Israeli shelling struck his vehicle.
The Israeli military claimed the next day, without presenting evidence, that Mohammed Wishah was a “key terrorist in Hamas’ rocket and weapons production headquarters”.
