Brothers, cousins, sons: the human stories behind four of the war's fallen journalists
Briefly

Mohammed al-Khaldi was a Gaza-based journalist who studied Arabic language and media at al-Azhar University and worked in journalism from 2010. He focused on investigative reporting and fact-checking, joining the Misbar platform to verify news and expose misinformation. He avoided graphic imagery and humanitarian sensationalism, preferring investigative stories that earned recognition, including a 2019 Aman award for an unemployment investigation. He produced social media content despite severe financial constraints, sometimes borrowing money to finish investigations. He and his family were displaced from Jabalia to Rafah by Israeli orders. He was killed four days before his 37th birthday.
My brother studied Arabic language and media at al-Azhar University and had worked in journalism since 2010. He loved his profession. Israel killed him for one reason: to silence Gaza's voice Mahmoud al-Sharif From the beginning of his journalistic career, and during previous wars, Mohammed always absolutely refused to film body parts or people screaming. He would tell me that his heart could not bear such pain.
My brother was very intelligent, brilliant and pure-hearted. This inspired him to leave the field of preparing humanitarian stories and move into investigative journalism. He began as a reporter with the Palestinian newspaper Dunya Al-Watan. He developed his skills and started filming humanitarian stories. In 2019, he received an award from the Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (Aman) for an investigation on unemployment in Gaza.
