Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera said on Tuesday that two of its journalists were seriously injured in an Israeli attack in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
Reporter Ismail Abu Omar's life is in danger after his right leg was amputated while doctors try to save the left leg, Al Jazeera said, quoting an emergency doctor.
Cameraman Ahmad Matar was described by Al Jazeera as being in a “serious condition” after being targeted by an Israeli drone in northern Rafah.
The two journalists have been admitted to the European Hospital, on the southern outskirts of the city of Khan Yunis.
The Health Ministry in Hamas-administered Gaza said the two were hit by an Israeli warplane strike in the Moraj area.
Hamas' government media office said it “condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation army's attacks on the Al Jazeera crew.”
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the attack when contacted by AFP, saying only that it would check details of the incident.
Two other journalists from the broadcaster were killed during Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, while bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh was injured.
His son and fellow journalist Hamza Wael al-Dahdouh was killed last month when Israeli forces attacked a car, along with another video journalist, Mustafa Thuria.
The network's cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqa, was killed in a separate attack in December.
The Committee to Protect Journalists has recorded the deaths of at least 85 journalists and media workers (78 of them Palestinians) since the war broke out on October 7.
