The Lebanese Media Group, comprising Al-Manar Channel and Al-Nour Radio, has issued a heartfelt statement addressing the esteemed journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh.
“With profound sorrow and dismay, we received the distressing news of the tragic loss of your honorable family members due to the treacherous acts of Zionists,” the statement read, “This heinous crime has left an indelible mark on numerous innocent civilians residing in the Gaza Strip.”
In this statement, we, the Lebanese Media Group, Al-Manar Channel, and Al-Nour Radio, unequivocally denounce this atrocious act. We extend our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time, along with our colleagues at Al-Jazeera Channel who are dedicated to reporting from within the resilient Gaza Strip.”
We also express our admiration for the unwavering commitment of media professionals who continue to work relentlessly, even under fire, tirelessly striving to convey the unvarnished truth about the brutal aggression against the people of Gaza, exposing the crimes and cruelty committed with the tacit support of certain self-proclaimed advocates of human rights, the statement added.
“In this context, we find it imperative to commend the remarkable solidarity displayed by people across the globe in support of Palestine, its citizens, and their just cause. This surge of solidarity reflects a profound awakening, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on the wider public’s embrace of this righteous and equitable struggle.”
We offer our prayers to the Almighty, beseeching Him to embrace your departed family members in His expansive paradise and to grant you the strength and solace needed during this tough period, the statement concluded.
Al-Dahdouh’s wife, son, and daughter tragically lost their lives in an Israeli shelling incident that targeted a residence in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The family had fled from northern Gaza and sought refuge in other parts of the besieged Strip, a choice made by many families facing similar peril.
In a heart-wrenching scene, al-Dahdouh knelt beside his son’s lifeless body, overwhelmed by grief, while friends and colleagues, identified by their blue press vests, provided comfort.
Al-Dahdouh is known for his precise reporting on the Israeli conflict and the many massacres that have claimed the lives of entire families.
