Iman Al Shanti, a 36 year-old Palestinian journalist who was a host and producer for Al-Aqsa Radio and a reporter for Al Jazeera’s AJ+ platform during the war, was killed with her family in an Israeli airstrike on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza on December 11, 2024, according to multiple news reports.
Al Shanti was the producer and host of the Al-Aqsa Radio show “The Origin of the Story,” those sources said.
Palestinian journalists mourned Al Shanti and expressed sorrow over her death.
Journalists in northern Gaza are facing catastrophic conditions, saying ethnic cleansing is happening in a news void in northern Gaza.
CPJ emailed the North America desk inquiring whether the IDF knew there were civilians and journalists in the areas that it bombed, and if they were targeted for their work, but didn’t immediately receive any response.
