The Israeli Parliament prohibits the retransmission of the Qatari channel Al Jazeera in Israel. Al Jazeera is one of the most deployed channels and journalists in the Strip.
Since October it has reported on bombings of hospitals, attacks on residential buildings and the deaths of unarmed Gazans, which according to experts could be war crimes. Several of its journalists have also been killed in Israeli attacks - such as Hamza Wael Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuria when a missile hit their vehicle in southern Gaza.
