Al Jazeera has decided to refer the case of what it called “the assassination” of one of its cameramen in Gaza to the International Criminal Court, the Qatari-based network said in a statement Saturday.
The cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqa, was killed by a drone strike on Friday while reporting on the earlier bombing of a school used as a shelter for displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Al Jazeera.
The broadcaster said Israeli drones fired missiles at the school.
