Their life

Haneen Mahmoud Baroud was a Palestinian media professional and journalist who worked with the Al-Quds Foundation. She was described as an ambitious, active and dedicated journalist who participated in various fields of media and worked to serve Jerusalem from Gaza. On 27 October 2024, she was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Asmaa “B” School in the Al-Shati Refugee Camp, west of Gaza City. The school was sheltering displaced Palestinian families at the time. Haneen was killed alongside fellow journalists Saed Radwan and Hamza Abu Salmiya. Her death was particularly devastating because she had already lost several members of her family in previous attacks.

Haneen Mahmoud Baroud (حنين محمود بارود) was a Palestinian journalist and media professional working with the Al-Quds Foundation in Gaza. She was described by fellow journalist Mohammed Haniya as an active and ambitious journalist, someone who was involved in different fields and worked effectively to serve Jerusalem from Gaza.

Haneen continued her media work during the Gaza war, operating in an environment characterized by displacement, destruction and continuing military attacks. Her professional work involved media activity connected with events in Gaza and the Palestinian cause.

On 27 October 2024, Haneen was at Asmaa “B” School in the Al-Shati Refugee Camp, west of Gaza City. The school was being used to house displaced Palestinian families. An Israeli airstrike struck the school, killing Haneen and two other journalists, Saed Radwan and Hamza Abu Salmiya.

Haneen's death was also marked by an especially painful family history. According to the information provided, she had already lost four brothers in previous Israeli attacks. Her father, Mahmoud Baroud, known as Abu Malek, had also previously been killed during Israeli attacks and was subsequently described as missing in the family's account. Haneen therefore died after having already experienced the loss of several immediate family members.
