Archivist Notes
Full name: Hassan Abdul-Fattah Eslayeh | حسن عبد الفتاح اصليح
Killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike on him while he was recovering from an injury at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. Hassan was injured in the journalists' massacre on April 7, 2025, when an Israeli airstrike directly struck press tents around the same hospital, killing two journalists and injuring several others. He was the target of that airstrike as officially announced by IDF spokespeople on X. Although he had survived, he sustained injuries to the head and had lost two fingers in the aftermath.
Hassan Eslayeh was a crucial source of documentation of Israeli war crimes, massacres, aftermaths of ground invasions, forced displacement, and living conditions in Khan Younis throughout the genocide. Moreover, he consistently helped desperate Palestinian families share appeals for help, particularly those suffering from life-threatening health conditions and needing urgent medical treatment.
Israel had killed 7 of Hassan's relatives on the night of March 18, 2025, when it broke the ceasefire. His family home was also completely destroyed by Israeli strikes.
On September 5, 2024, prominent Israeli media accounts on social media launched an incitement campaign to murder Hassan because he "documented the abduction of soldiers and bodies" on October 7, 2023.
Hassan Eslayeh was regarded as highly trusted veteran journalist and a mentor to young journalists in Gaza; He had also provided financial assistance to the families of fellow journalists killed in the same assassination attempt that injured him.
The Gaza Media Office called the attack a “double crime” — targeting both a journalist and a patient in a hospital.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health condemned the strike as a heinous violation of international law, accusing Israel of systematically dismantling the healthcare system.
