Sources on the ground confirm that Israeli air strikes in Gaza have killed six people, including an Al Jazeera cameraman. The journalist, identified as Ahmad al-Haj, was filming near the border when the attack occurred. Two other journalists were injured in the same strike.
The UK government has issued a call for restraint, urging both sides to de-escalate. But the bodies keep piling up. Uncovered documents suggest the strikes targeted areas near civilian infrastructure, raising questions about proportionality.
The cameraman's death is the latest in a series of incidents involving media workers caught in the crossfire. Sources say the Israeli Defence Force claims the strike was directed at militant positions, but witnesses describe a different scene: a neighbourhood with residential buildings, not a battlefield. The UK's statement, while calling for restraint, does not condemn the specific attack.
It reads like a boilerplate plea for peace, with no teeth. Meanwhile, the death toll in Gaza continues to climb, and the international community watches. The question remains: who is accountable?
