Al Jazeera journalist laments son killed in Israeli strike in Gaza: 'He was my soul'

Wael Al-Dahdouh, the Al Jazeera bureau chief, has vowed to continue covering the Israel-Hamas war.

TEL AVIV, Israel -- Al Jazeera journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh, who is a bureau chief in Gaza, is mourning the death of another family member who was killed in an apparent Israeli airstrike but he has already returned to work in a vow to continue covering the Israel-Hamas war.

Hamzah Al-Dahdouh, Wael's 27-year-old son, was working as a freelance journalist, driving in Gaza and using a drone to capture footage, when his vehicle was hit by an Israeli airstrike on Jan. 7, according to officials.

Wael buried his son and returned to work one day later.

"Hamzah was all mine, he was my breath, and he was my soul, but certainly this loss and this pain will not stop us from continuing on this path," he told ABC News in Gaza. "And it will not deter us from continuing to perform this duty."
