Overview
- Al Jazeera said its journalist Mohammed (Muhammad) Washah died when a drone hit his car on the Al-Rashid road west of Gaza City.
- The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the strike and said Washah hid militant work behind his press role, citing images it says came from a seized computer.
- Al Jazeera called the killing a heinous crime, denied any Hamas link, and said Washah had reported for the network since 2018.
- Two other journalists were reported killed in southern Lebanon in the same 24-hour span, and the Committee to Protect Journalists urged urgent international action to protect the press.
- Agência Brasil reported the Gaza conflict’s journalist death toll has reached 262 since October 7, 2023, a count that follows a string of reporter deaths in 2025, including several from Al Jazeera.
