Mustafa Thuraya:

Palestinian journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh had already faced the tragic loss of his wife, son, and daughter on Oct. 25 when the Israeli Occupation forces conducted raids targeting his house.

In the aftermath of this devastating event, Dahdouh, known for his precise coverage of the Israeli Occupation's aggression on Gaza, declared that his tears are not a sign of cowardice but a plea for the occupying army to be defeated.

He emphasized that the bombing occurred in an area far from northern Gaza, which the Israeli Occupation army had requested to evacuate.

Dahdouh's reporting consistently highlighted the extensive destruction and deliberate targeting of defenseless civilians during the occupation's ongoing massacres in the Gaza Strip.
