Israeli forces killed Palestinian journalist Ahmed Abu al-Rous just moments before a ceasefire deal was announced in the regime’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The journalist was killed along with four other people, including his brother Mohamed, on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his vehicle at the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Abu al-Rous was covering the escalating situation in Gaza when the deadly attack occurred.
The killing brings to at least 206 the total number of Palestinian journalists martyred in Israel’s Gaza onslaught.
Abu al-Rous was the winner of the “Palestine Special: Citizen Journalist Award” at the second Sobh International Media Festival.
“Sobh festival had all the privilege & honor to have a martyr as the winner of citizen journalism award,” Ahmad Noroozi, the head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB)’s World Service, said in an X post.
