BUREIJ REFUGEE CAMP — Ahmed Wishah, a 25-year-old cameraman for Al Jazeera Mubasher, was killed in an Israeli air attack on a house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Two other Palestinians also died in the strike.

Wishah is the 12th journalist from the network killed in Gaza. His brother, Mohammed Wishah, a correspondent for the channel, was killed on April 8 in Israeli shelling of his car. Ahmed Wishah had subsequently cared for his brother's children.

An Israeli military spokesman accused Ahmed Wishah of being a "Hamas terrorist." Al Jazeera refuted this accusation as "baseless." The news organization stated it is determined "to take every available legal measure to prosecute the perpetrators" of acts against its staff in Gaza.

Ahmed Wishah had previously called for an end to the targeting of journalists. "Let the martyrdom of Mohammed Wishah be the end to the killing of journalists. This is my message to the world. Someone should stop the occupation from targeting journalists. That's our only message: Stop the Israeli occupation from targeting journalists," Wishah said.

Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Talal Mahmoud said he had known Ahmed Wishah since the beginning of the war. "I've known Ahmed since the beginning of the war. He was always present, accompanying his brother Mohammed in the tent where he stayed," Mahmoud said. "Given our shared work, we frequently gathered in that tent at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital or Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat camp, exchanging thoughts and discussing the details of our coverage." Mahmoud added that Wishah became not just a friend but a colleague. "He became not just a friend, but a colleague at the same channel. He would often accompany me on assignments, documenting the events we covered throughout the long months of this war," Mahmoud said.

Mahmoud also recalled his last encounter with Wishah. "My last encounter with Ahmed was a few days ago when he told us his mother wanted to prepare a meal in memory of his martyred brother, Mohammed," Mahmoud said. "He brought us Maftoul, saying, 'This is from my mother, a mercy offering for the soul of his brother Mohammed. Please pray for him.'

Al Jazeera Mubasher cameraman Khaled Al-Shatli described Wishah as a "polite and highly moral young man." "When you talk about Ahmed Wishah, you are talking about a polite and highly moral young man," Al-Shatli said. He noted Wishah was well-spoken and possessed beautiful manners. "He was so well-spoken and possessed such beautiful manners; he would constantly joke with all the colleagues working alongside him," Al-Shatli said. Al-Shatli recalled that just yesterday, Wishah was bidding farewell to friends and family in the Bureij camp. "Just yesterday, he was bidding farewell to his friends and family in the Bureij camp, taking photos with them in what felt like a final goodbye," Al-Shatli said. He also recalled joking with Wishah about new clothes. "I joked with him about his new clothes. He replied, 'It's an outfit I'm not used to, but perhaps something inside me pushed me to wear it,'" Al-Shatli said.
