Samer Abou Daqa was accompanied by another reporter, injured in the arm. Unlike him, he was lucky to be taken quickly to the hospital. The Al-Jazeera team was reporting on the damage caused by an Israeli army strike on a school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. “We had finished filming and we were with Civil Defense. We left. As we were coming back they hit us with a rocket“, testifies the affected journalist, Wael Dahdouh.
