Amal Zohud, a 28-year-old Palestinian freelance photographer, was killed on November 18, 2023, when Israeli warplanes bombed her family home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing her and nine other family members, according to the Beirut-based press freedom group SKeyes and reports by the Palestinian official news agency WAFA and other news outlets.
“We were surprised at 7 p.m. on Saturday, when Israeli warplanes bombed our home in the Nuseirat camp with four missiles, killing Amal Zohud and her mother in addition to eight women and children from the family, and injuring 15 family members,” Ahmed Zohud, Amal’s half brother, told CPJ in November 2024.
CPJ emailed the Israel Defense Forces’ North America Media Desk on January 3 asking whether the military knew civilians and journalists where in the areas it bombed and whether Zohud was targeted for her work but didn’t immediately receive a response.
