Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief loses son in Israeli air strike

Son of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh was killed by an Israeli strike in southern Gaza on Sunday. 

Hamza al-Dahdouh and his colleague Mustafa Thuraya, were doing fieldwork documenting the destruction caused by an overnight Israeli air strike in a residential area between Khan Younis and Rafah when a missile hit the vehicle they were travelling in, according to Al Jazeera.

In October, Wael lost his wife, daughter, another son and a grandson when they were killed by an Israeli air strike while sheltering in a relative's home.

Last month, Wael was himself wounded by an Israeli strike that killed his Al Jazeera colleague Samer Abudaqa.

Wael is considered by many across the Arab world to be the face of Al Jazeera's Gaza coverage.

Hamza worked as a producer and videographer, including for Al Jazeera, and has more than million followers on Instagram.
