"A day after an Israeli air strike killed a noted Al Jazeera journalist and his
cameraman, the Israeli army acknowledged killing the reporters — and indicated
the strike was purposeful.
Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and his cameraman Rami al-Rifi were
killed by an Israeli airstrike Wednesday, shortly after reporting from the
destroyed home of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas’ political wing, who had
earlier in the day been assassinated in Iran.
Graphic video of the scene of the airstrike shows al-Ghoul was wearing a blue
vest reading, “PRESS,” when he was killed. Both al-Ghoul and al-Rifi were
wearing press vests and their vehicle carried “identifying signs,” Al Jazeera
reported. Multiple reports indicated a nearby child was also killed in the
strike.
In a tweet Thursday, the Israeli military indicated it had purposefully
targeted the journalist, claiming without evidence that al-Ghoul was a
“terrorist” and a member of Hamas’ military wing."
