Archivist Notes

Full Name: Ahmed Salama Hashem Abu Aisha | أحمد سلامه هاشم ابوعيشة

Killed in an Israeli airstrike while he was at his home's doorstep in Al-Sawarha area in Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

At around 16:50 on 10 July 2025, an Israeli drone targeted journalist Ahmed Salama Hashim Abu ‘Aisha (34), who held a PHD and worked for Palestine Today News Agency, with a missile while he was in the garden of his house located in al-Sawarah area, southwest of al-Nusirat refugee camp. As a result, Ahmed sustained shrapnel injuries in his back and lower limbs. He was transported to al-‘Awda Hospital in al-Nusirat camp, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) but succumbed to his injuries less than an hour later.

Ahmed’s brother, Mahmoud Salama Hashim Abu ‘Aisha (38), said to PCHR’s researcher:

“I was standing on the street, specifically in front of the house gate, while my brother Ahmed (34), a journalist holding a PhD in literature and criticism, was sitting on a bed in the garden and reading the Quran. Suddenly, a loud explosion occurred, filling the area with dust and smoke. I rushed inside and found my brother Ahmed lying on the ground and severely bleeding. Ahmed was directly targeted with a drone missile, injuring him in his back and lower limbs. He was still breathing, so I immediately carried him, fearing he would be targeted again, and placed him on a motorcycle (tuk-tuk). I rushed him to al-‘Awda Hospital in al-Nusirat refugee camp. Due to the severity of his condition, he was admitted to the ICU, and at around 17:40 on the same day, he was pronounced dead, succumbing to his injuries.".
