Journalist Rushes for Cover After Airstrike Hits | VOA News

Footage captured in Rafah shows the moment that an Al Jazeera journalist reporting live was meters away from the scene of airstrikes that hit several buildings close to a hospital in the Southern Gaza Strip.

Hani Mahmoud was reporting live from outside the Kuwaiti hospital in Rafah on Wednesday, when a loud sound of an explosion followed by a column of smoke emerged behind him. He is seen taking cover while the cameraman films the situation and the strikes that followed the first impact.

The ongoing war between Israel and the militant group Hamas has taken a "record toll" on journalists, a press freedom group said Thursday.

With at least 68 journalists killed since the war began on October 7, more journalists have been killed in the first 10 weeks of the conflict than have been killed in a single country over the course of an entire year, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ. #Gaza #Israel #Palestinian #reels #videography #voanews
