Two Al-Jazeera reporters were killed in an Israeli strike in northern Gaza on Wednesday, the news network reported.
The reporters, Ismail al-Ghoul, 27, and his cameraman Rami al-Rifi, along with an unidentified child, died when a blast hit their car in Gaza City.
The journalists had been reporting from the al-Shati refugee camp. Their deaths add to the toll of journalists killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began last October, now totalling 111, most of whom were Palestinians.
The Israeli army has not commented on the strike.
United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric called for a full investigation.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate and Hamas accused Israel of targeting the journalists. Al-Jazeera and press freedom groups condemned the attack, and have demanded accountability.
Israel closed Al-Jazeera offices in May, claiming the network incites against Israeli troops and has ties to Hamas, which Al-Jazeera denies.
The network has faced previous losses, including cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa in December and bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh’s family in October.
Colleagues and friends of the slain reporters expressed their grief and vowed to continue their work, despite the risks.
Videos showed mourning and determination among journalists in Gaza, emphasising that their mission to report the truth would not be silenced.
