She said the vehicles were at a “holding point” – a designated area where cars have to wait until a checkpoint is ready to receive them.
“We were waiting there when gunfire broke out in the vicinity. The gunfire came from the direction of the checkpoint towards civilians who then ran away from the checkpoint and the gunfire hit us,” Ingram told Al Jazeera.
“We were really lucky,” she said, adding three rounds hit the car where she was sitting.

‘Cold-blooded massacre’: Israeli forces kill over 104 aid seekers in Gaza
The Israeli military has killed at least 104 Palestinians in Gaza City. Nearly 700 people have also been injured – dozens of them in critical condition. Thursday‘s attack has been described as a massacre of civilians. Hundreds of starving Palestinians had gathered to collect food aid, when they were attacked. Israel‘s army says its soldiers were forced to open fire because they felt threatened by the large crowds.
This is unbearable. Al Jazeera‘s Wael al-Dahdouh mourns his son Hamza, also a journalist, who was killed in an Israeli strike on a car he was in. Wael‘s wife and two other children were killed in a previous Israeli strike. He has been through so much.
This is no indiscriminate bombing. It is a targeted assassination! A photo shows the Israeli surgical attack against Hamza, the son of Aljazeera‘s chief correspondent in Gaza, @WaelDahdouh.
Israel killed 109 journalists in Gaza over the past 90 days!
Hamza, son of Al Jazeera’s Wael Dahdouh, killed in Israeli attack in Gaza
When he lost his wife, son, daughter, and grandson to the Israeli air raid at the end of October, the world watched, aghast, as he ran into the hospital where the bodies of his four loved ones had been moved.
After saying his emotional goodbyes to his children, grandchild, and life partner, he also seemed more determined than ever to perform his job.
Then in mid-December, he was badly injured in an attack that killed his colleague Samer Abudaqa, but he was again out and about covering the news shortly after.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has called for an international investigation into the reports.

“We cannot describe the situation … tens of bodies run over by Israeli bulldozers,” al-Sharif says as he pans around the yard, showing more crushed heaps of rubble and body parts.
„Dozens of displaced, sick, and wounded people were buried alive. The occupation [Israeli] bulldozers trampled the tents of the displaced people in the hospital yard and brutally crushed them,” he adds.
What does the Geneva Convention say about the protection of civilians inside hospitals?
Al Jazeera Arabic presenter, Abdisalam Farah, breaks down when reporting the breaking news about the death of Wael Al Dahdouh’s family in Gaza
„Help us to stay alive“ was their outcry to the world from Gaza. Mahmoud, Al Jazeera Arabic’s Wael Dahdouh son, joined by his sister Kholoud, sent a message to the world, days before Mahmoud, his mother, and younger sister Sham were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza

Arab-Israeli normalisation should end after hospital attack: Palestinian party head
Mustafa Barghouti, the leader of the Palestinian National Initiative Party (PNI), has said that the attack on al-Ahli Arab hospital should make Arab countries rethink normalisations with Israel, which have been brokered by the US.
“I think it is absolutely shameful for any Arab government now to have an Israeli ambassador in their country,” said Barghouti, who co-founded the PNI as an alternative to the dominant Fatah and Hamas Palestinian political parties. “All the acts of normalization between Arab governments and Israel must be eliminated and canceled. This is the least they can do.”
“But also they should tell the United States that enough is enough,” he added.
The Masochist in Chief: Biden, Israel and the Middle East
Israel is the only “western country” where Biden is less popular than Trump, even though his Middle East policy looks a lot like his predecessor’s – “the nuclear deal is out, the Saudis are in, and human rights are down”. And Israel is, once again, front and centre. If you thought his trip to Saudi Arabia is about Saudi Arabia or oil, think again. The main aim of his trip is to increase Israel’s security and deepen its integration in the region.
True, Biden is not the first president to spoil Israel rotten, but there is something much more bizarre about Biden’s relationship with Israel. It is sort of a sado-masochistic relationship – the greater the abuse the bigger the schmooze.
