Al Jazeera has shared footage showing one of its Gaza-based reporters hearing gunfire while covering an Israeli military operation. The incident occurred as Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from a frontline area facing intense bombardment and ground manoeuvres. During the live update, the team heard bursts of automatic weapons and saw flashes from nearby shelling, forcing them to take cover amid collapsing structures and widespread chaos. The video captures the raw reality of reporting under fire, highlighting extreme dangers journalists face in Gaza’s conflict zones.
The video provides a chilling snapshot of the precarious conditions in which correspondents continue to deliver on-the-ground reporting despite acute risks. This footage comes on the heels of recent appeals by both AFP and Al Jazeera for the evacuation and protection of journalists in Gaza, emphasising that many media workers are now starving, exhausted, and trapped in active combat zones.
Witnessing gunfire in real time, the reporter’s urgent tone and rapid reaction show how frontline journalists face deadly threats, not just from aerial bombardment but from ground firefights and accidental crossfire. Al Jazeera reiterated its plea for international intervention to create safe evacuation corridors, implement immediate protections for media personnel, and ensure unhindered humanitarian access. The aim is to prevent Gaza’s remaining journalists from being silenced, either by starvation or by becoming casualties of the ongoing conflict.
