#Palestine / Photojournalist Fatima Hassona killed by IDF ahead of Cannes documentary debut
Fatima Hassona, a Palestinian photojournalist and the central figure in the documentary "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk," was killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home in northern #Gaza, according to reports. The documentary, directed by exiled Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi, had been selected for the Cannes Film Festival.
Hassona, a graduate of the University College of Applied Sciences in Gaza, documented the realities of life in Gaza through her photography. Hours before her death, she posted a photo of the sunset, and in a previous post, she expressed her desire for a "loud death" that would leave a lasting trace and immortal images.
The International Federation of Journalists (#IFJ) estimates that at least 157 journalists and media workers have been killed since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza. The IFJ mourned Hassona's death and condemned the targeting of reporters, calling for an immediate and independent investigation into her killing and an end to Israel's impunity.
