CAIRO (AP) — Al-Jazeera says its chief correspondent in Gaza has lost three members of his family in an Israeli airstrike. According to the network, Wael Dahdouh’s wife, son and daughter were killed by an Israeli airstrike that hit Nuseirat Refugee Camp. His family members were among the more than 1 million Gazans displaced by the war and had moved to the area under the instructions of the Israeli military believing it to be safe. The Qatari state-owned news channel said a number of other family members were still missing, and it remained unclear how many others were killed. Al-Jazeera is deeply critical of Israel, particularly its treatment of Palestinians.
