Al Jazeera and Families Reject Israeli Military's Claims About Slain Journalists

Network Prepares Legal Action Over 'Assassination' of Journalists in Gaza

Al Jazeera and the families of two Palestinian journalists killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza have rejected Israel's military claim that they were 'terrorists'.
Hamza al-Dahdouh, an Al Jazeera journalist and cameraman, and Mustafa Thuraya, a freelance videographer, died after their car was hit in the southern city of Rafah.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) initially stated that they had 'identified and struck a terrorist who operated an aircraft that posed a threat to IDF troops.'
Al Jazeera has condemned the 'assassination' of the journalists and accused Israel of 'systematically targeting' Dahdouh's family.
Al Jazeera is preparing a legal file to submit to the International Criminal Court over what it called the 'assassination' of their journalists by Israeli forces in Gaza.
