Death and Reported Roles
- Death: Muhammad Bassam Ahmed Al-Jamal (محمد بسام أحمد الجمل) died on April 25, 2024, from injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his home in the Al-Janina neighborhood east of Rafah the previous night.
- Journalistic Association: The International Federation of Journalists and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) identified Muhammad Bassam Al-Jamal as a correspondent and photographer for Palestine Now, a news agency affiliated with Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades. This assertion was supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). UNESCO published a letter from Mounir Anastas, the Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of the State of Palestine to UNESCO, in which he referred to Muhammad Al-Jamal as a journalist casualty and accused the “Israeli occupying army” of “deliberately targeting journalists with no constraints or consequences.” Additionally, Al-Jamal reportedly worked as a montage technician for Al-Aqsa TV, a channel run by Hamas and designated as a terrorist organisation by several governments.
- Militant Affiliation: Following his death, Muhammad Bassam Al-Jamal was recognized as a field commander in the Military Media Unit of Al-Qassam’s Rafah Brigade.
Update (June 23, 2026): The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades’ Military Media Department now lists Muhammad Bassam Ahmed Al-Jamal on its “martyrs” page.
Note 1: The IFJ also listed Muhammad Bassam Al-Jamal in its 2024 “killed list” report.
