Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least six people, including Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah and at least one child, according to health officials and rescuers. Al Jazeera condemned the killing of Wishah, stating it was a violation of international law. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Wishah of being a "Hamas sniper operative" and involved in planning attacks, though no evidence was provided. The strike on Saturday in the Bureij refugee camp also killed two others, whom the IDF also accused of being part of Hamas. This incident follows the death of Wishah's brother, also an Al Jazeera correspondent, in an April Israeli strike, with the IDF making similar accusations.

Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at least six people, including an Al Jazeera cameraman and at least one child, according to health officials and rescuers.Al Jazeera said it "strongly condemns the heinous crime of targeting and killing" of its correspondent Ahmed Wishah, who was killed in a strike on a central Gaza home on Saturday.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Wishah of being "a terrorist in Hamas' military wing who served as a sniper operative".Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures the UN regards as reliable, says the Israeli military has killed 1,007 people since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect last October. Al Jazeera said Wishah's death on Saturday "constitutes a new and flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and reflects a continued systematic policy of targeting journalists and silencing the voice of truth".The IDF said that Wishah in recent months had advanced sniper attack plans against Israeli troops, without providing evidence.Two other people were killed along with Wishah in the strike on the home in Bureij refugee camp, according to a local hospital and the Hamas-run civil defence agency, which conducts rescue operations. The IDF also accused the two others killed of being a part of Hamas.Wishah's brother Mohamed, who was also a correspondent for Al Jazeera, was killed in an Israeli strike in April. The IDF accused him of working in Hamas rocket and weapons production headquarters, without further details.
