Palestinian Photojournalist Fatma Hassona Killed with Family in Israeli Attack

HeadlineApr 18, 2025

Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of Gaza continues, claiming at least another 34 victims today, including 10 members of the same family who were killed in a strike on a home in Khan Younis earlier today.

Meanwhile, one of the victims of an Israeli airstrike earlier this week, on Wednesday, was revealed to be the young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona. Hassona, who was killed along with at least nine other members of her family in Gaza City, is the subject of a new documentary that is set to premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival. We’ll speak with the director of that documentary, Sepideh Farsi, later in the broadcast.
