Abdel Raouf Shaat, Mohamed Qishta, and Anas Ghneim were killed when their car was hit by an Israeli strike while leaving a camp for displaced people in Gaza. The three journalists were recording footage of the camp on assignment for the media arm of an Egyptian relief committee. The strike occurred about a mile from the camp. The Israel Defense Forces accused the journalists of operating a drone affiliated with Hamas and said troops identified suspects who posed a threat before a precise strike.
