Archivist Notes: Journalist Hassan Hamad murdered

Journalist Hassan Hamad was reported and found killed at home October 6 early morning as a result of an Israeli strike on his home.

The day and night before, Hassan was bravely documenting the Israeli assault under constant gunfire in pitch darkness, providing key footage documenting the use of artillery shelling and helicopter machine guns against civilian homes.

He was only 20 years-old, yet carried on his journalist mission until his last moments. His last post on X was reporting a house in Jabalia being bombed around 5:30 am after an almost full day of reporting and documenting on the ground moving from one place to another, despite having a foot injury. His last message was sent to a colleague/friend at 6am who used to upload his footage for him on X, portending his imminent murder Source

His colleague Hossam Shabat noted that his body was completely shredded and his remains collected in a plastic bag and a box, weighing no more than 5 kilograms
