Palestinian journalist Rushdi Sarraj has been killed in an Israeli attack on his home in Gaza, according to local journalists and colleagues.
“My close friend, Rushdi Sarraj, was killed in Israeli bombardment on his home. He was a talented photojournalist and director creatively telling the stories of Gazans under war and siege. May you rest in peace,” international photojournalist Wissam Nassar said on Instagram.
