JOURNALIST Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifi were adhering conflict-zone-reporting best practice as they drove from their assignment at the end of July.
Having documented issues facing the displaced of northern Gaza, they were departing the scene of greatest danger. They wore blast vests bearing the insignia PRESS and minutes earlier had updated the Al Jazeera newsroom with their location.
