Hossam Saleh Al-Adlouni (Arabic: حسام صالح العدّلوني) was a Palestinian journalist and photojournalist who was killed alongside his wife and three children during an Israeli airstrike on a displacement tent in al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis, in the Gaza Strip on 13 July 2025. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Career and work

Al-Adlouni worked as a journalist and photographer, documenting the events of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Like many media workers in the region during the war, he regularly reported on frontline conditions, the humanitarian crisis, and daily life under siege. [2] [3] [4] Before his death, he had sought safety for himself and his family by relocating to temporary shelters amid escalating hostilities. [2] [5]

Death

On 13 July 2025, Al-Adlouni was killed, along with his wife and their three children, Abdul Rahman, Shahd, and Fayrouz, when an Israeli airstrike directly struck the tent where the family was sheltering in al-Qarara. [2] [3] [5] The attack occurred amidst intensified Israeli bombardment targeting civilian areas and displacement camps across southern Gaza. In the same 24-hour period, fellow journalist Fadi Khalifa was also killed in a separate Israeli airstrike. [2] [3] [5]

The deaths of Al-Adlouni and his family were widely condemned by press freedom organizations, who highlighted the escalating toll on Palestinian media workers. [4] By mid-July 2025, over 230 journalists and media workers had been killed in Gaza since the start of the war in October 2023. [2] [3] [5] [6]
