Who Was Saeed Al-Taweel? Journalist Killed By Israeli Airstrikes In Gaza
Many have expressed concern over the Israeli airstrike in Gaza which has reportedly taken the life of a journalist, Saeed Al-Taweel.
According to Al Jazeera, multiple journalists were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Saeed Al-Taweel, a journalist murdered in the airstrike, has been identified.
According to Roya’s correspondent, journalist Saeed Al-Taweel was killed in an Israeli bombardment on a facility in Gaza City’s western area early Tuesday morning.
In their ongoing, merciless bombardment, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) struck a number of structures in Gaza, including press outlets and hospitals.
The Roya TV offices in Gaza were among the targets, as was a medical facility that was hit four times by missiles.
Meanwhile, a number of Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza, and many more have been reported missing or injured. Mohammad Jarghoun, a Smart Media reporter, and Ibrahim Mohammad Lafi, an Ain Media photojournalist, were among those killed.
In Khan Yunis, Ibrahim Qanan, a correspondent for the Al-Ghad channel, was also injured. Two photographers, Nidal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdelwahid, are still missing. Mohammad El-Salhi, a freelance journalist, also died tragically.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has voiced deep concern over these incidents, emphasising the importance of protecting journalists as civilians and urging all parties to recognise their vital role in conveying accurate information during times of crisis. The conflict has claimed over 1,300 lives in just three days.

Saeed Al-Taweel: A victim of Israeli war
Saeed Al-Taweel was one of four Palestinian journalists murdered in Gaza by Israeli airstrikes on October 10, 2023. Hisham Al-Nawajha and Rezq Muhammad Sobh, who worked for Smart Media and Channel Al-Ghad, respectively, and Ahmed Abu Hussein, who worked for Al-Jazeera, were the other three.
According to Roya TV, Saeed Al-Taweel was shooting in the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on a residential block in Gaza City’s al-Rimal neighborhood, which is home to many media outlets and non-governmental organizations. He was on the roof of a neighboring structure when another Israeli missile struck the same place, instantly killing him.
His killing generated outrage and condemnation from local and international media outlets, as well as human rights organizations. They denounced the Israeli attacks on journalists and civilians as war crimes and violations of international law. They also called for an immediate end to the Israeli aggression and siege on Gaza.
