Mohammed Al Qrinawi

Mohammed Al Qrinawi, a Palestinian journalist and the editor at the local Snd news agency, was killed along with his wife and their three children, in an Israeli airstrike on Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip on December 14, 2024, according to his outlet and multiple news reports.

Snd news agency said that Al Qrinawi worked as an editor and reporter at the agency “where he worked to cover and convey the suffering of citizens in the Gaza Strip during the war through his distinctive stories and reports despite the harsh conditions resulting from the ongoing war of genocide.”

It added that Al Qrinawi and his wife were injured when an Israeli bombardment hit their Al Bureij home in the first months of the Israel-Gaza war, “where he emerged from under the rubble and then returned to practice his journalistic work until he was martyred.”

CPJ’s email to the North America Media Desk of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) asking whether the IDF knew there were civilians in the areas that it bombed, and if the journalists were targeted for their work, didn’t immediately receive any response.
