Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh returned to the airwaves Thursday, just one day after an Israeli airstrike killed 12 members of his family. Dahdouh resumed broadcasting from a Gaza rooftop hours after he led prayers at a funeral for his wife, son, daughter, grandson and other relatives.

Wael Dahdouh: “I saw it as my duty to get back to work as quickly as possible, despite everything, because, as you can see, the bombardment is still ongoing. There are airstrikes and artillery shelling, and things continue to develop.”

The Committee to Protect Journalists reports at least 27 journalists have been killed in Israel and Palestine since October 7 — four Israelis, one Lebanese and 22 Palestinians.
