Palestinian media report that Al Jazeera reporter Ismail Alghoul and cameraman Ramy El-Rify have been killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City’s Shati Camp.

According to the reports, the pair were struck while in a car after reporting from a destroyed home in Shati that belonged to slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s family. Haniyeh was killed in Tehran early this morning.

The IDF has no immediate comment on the strike.
