Ibrahim Mahmoud Hajjaj (1988 – 30 July 2025) was a Palestinian photojournalist, member of the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate, who was killed on 30 July 2025, during an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City while covering residential damage.
On 30 July 2025, Hajjaj was killed by Israeli shelling in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City, specifically near Al-Zahraa School, while documenting the effects of the conflict.[1][2]
