Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Abu Omar's first comment after his foot was amputated: The occupation's missiles will not scare us. Abu Omar added, during an intervention with Al Jazeera, that his message is for the world to look at the people of Gaza.
Earlier, Abu Omar and photographer Ahmed Matar were seriously injured after they were targeted by an Israeli drone in the Mirage area, north of the city of Rafah. The first surgical operation was completed for colleague Abu Omar, during which an amputation was performed above the knee in his right foot.
