Jadi had gone to al-Awda Hospital with his wife, who was giving birth to their first child.
According to the Wafa news agency, while waiting for his wife, he decided to check in on his colleagues who were outside the hospital in the vehicle.
His brother, photographer Omar al-Jadi, documented the moments after the Israeli strike hit the vehicle.
“Guys, Ayman is inside. Ayman, my brother, is martyred,” he shouted in the video as he helplessly filmed the burning van.

If anyone hasnt, i fully recommend the Channel 5 w/ Andrew Callaghan episode where they travel to West Bank/Israel and get real eyewitness accounts of everything. There is a full segment there by an American journalist that was targeted by israel among a bunch of other journalists. Israel is without a doubt committing war crimes.
I almost forgot about him. Didn't he get caught up in some sexual assault accusations or something like that, and then he stopped making content?
Jesus Fucking Christ. Imagine having to film the death of your brother, who you were talking to minutes before. One second, he was checking on his wife, and the next he was trapped in a burning car.
I cannot rationalize the actions of Israel. No one should be able to. Cruelty to this level should not be allowed, yet the Western hegemony is turning a blind eye to the suffering in Gaza.
The IDF is a terrorist organization.
Apparently telling the truth is antisemitic.
As a Jewish (living in "Israel") person I have regularly been called antisemitic and even fascist for saying "hey maybe we shouldnt be killing children"
As a German born two generations later than our country's atrocities versus Jewish people and the world, I am absolutely and without a doubt firm in my support for the right of existence of the state of Israel (I just think they should have taken the land from the Germans, or offered the Palestinians part of Germany, after all, the Germans were the insane mass murdering fuckheads that caused this clusterfuck). That said, I also always sympathized with the plight of the Palestinian people.
Being fully aware of our historical responsibility to stand with the people of Israel, I can say with absolute certainty that the current regime of Israel is led by monsters who commit war crimes faster than we can count them, and that all those monsters should be dragged to the ICC in The Hague in chains, and hopefully put in prison for the rest of their lives. Netanyahu is and always has been first and foremost a career criminal who has sought nothing but his own gains, and when the Israeli judiciary goes after him, he finds ways to start wars to distract from his own corruption. Literally washing his hands in the blood of the Palestinian (and Lebanese) people.
The last time I saw real progress in the Israeli/Palestinian peace process, was under Yitzhak Rabin - and he was murdered by a rightwing extremist Jewish settler.
Having seen films of the aftermath of German atrocities, films that made me gag and shed tears in horror and in sympathy with the victims, I believe that "never again!" is inextricably linked to fighting Jewish extremism and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, because both of them fuel antisemitism, and the misdirected anger of the families of victims will again lead to senseless slaughter, typically of innocent Israeli citizens.
You could say that zionism is anti-semitic at its core.
This horror has been a blood feud since the foundation of the state of Israel - and the only way out of this is to STOP THE %^#$% KILLING! No matter which side feels that it's current "their turn" to get revenge.
Yeah, before my test of insanity was to say "Palestinians deserve human rights"
Nothing about.that statement is controversial, but you spot the bigot if someone disagrees
Can you please not do that? All you're doing is using Israel's definition of antisemitism and so whenever real antisemitism comes up, people can hide behind saying things like "antisemitism has lost its meaning now."
Honestly, I've given up and just started calling people being antisemitic "bigots," but you're still not helping by using Israel's terminology, even in a sarcastic way. Because you're still helping to normalize it in a way that it can be dismissed.
(I expect to get heavily downvoted for this, but I don't care.)
I think your point about sarcastic use of a statement to make fun of it being the same as saying it genuinely is nonsense.
The comment clearly makes fun of Israel's misuse of the term, which is basically in agreement with your point that it should be differentiated from real antisemitism.
Your comment basically means the famous onion headline published about mass shootings contributes to people ignoring gun violence because they say there's nothing you can do about it. which is completely false. that goes against the entire concept of sarcasm and satire.
I understand your concern. The current Israeli cabinet uses that word to anything that opposes the government's actions and it makes the word lose its real meaning.
However, I think that mocking the way Israel labels everything opposing the war as "antisemitic" does not undermine its real meaning but undermines the reputation of Israel using it inappropriately.
- Personal view, may be wrong.
Thanks for this comment. I'm not sure where I stand on the topic, but it's a good point and worth considering.
If I were a Palestinian journalist (the only journalists in Gaza since Israel is keeping everyone else in the press out), I would do as little as I could to draw attention to myself. It's clear that Israel has declared open season on journalists and they don't care if that's a violation of international law.
"because reporting on crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Israel is antisemitic" - Adolf Netanyahu
Jeeesus, what the fuck man. Israel is just evil bullshit at this point, fuck those guys.
At this point? It wasn't when they shot the people bringing aid in April?
At that point? It wasn't when they expelled Palestinians from their homes in 1948?
Nah, I had already had serious reservations about Israeli intent after the initial attack.
They have been for a while, it’s just that this time they are losing their edge on propaganda since folks have alternatives to corporate mainstream media. This is why they want to ban tik tok for example.
What's the toll at? Last time I heard it was in the hundreds of journalist
Article said it exceeds 200.
Well obviously the person that picked that target simply had Dyslexia and thought it said Hamas
