I thought maybe he was able to run away a bit ahead. I called for Ghaith and for Omer and they were OK. The strike wasn’t far away from us, it was less than 10 meters away. It was a targeted strike."

STORYLINE:
A Syrian photographer working for the German news agency dpa was killed by a fighter jet attack near the Syrian city of Hama, dpa reported on Wednesday.
The agency’s editor-in-chief, Sven Gösmann, said “all of us at dpa are in shock and infinitely saddened by the death of Anas Alkharboutli.”
Ali Suleiman, a freelance journalist who was with Alkharboutli when the strike happened, said a group of journalists were heading into Hama countryside when they heard a plane.
"The plane was very low to the ground. We got out of the car to film the plane, it made circular motions and it came directly on top of us. And a black smoke came out behind," said Suleiman.
The airstrike seriously injured Alkharboutli but he succumbed to his injuries in ambulance back to Idlib said Suleiman.
The 32-year-old joined dpa as a photographer in the Middle East in 2017. He mainly reported from the Syrian civil war zone and “in recent days in particular, his photos were seen around the world as he reported on the civil war that flared up again,” dpa said in a statement.
Alkharboutli’s photography was recognized internationally. In 2020, he received the Young Reporter Trophy of the French Prix Bayeux for war reporting. At the 2021 Sony World Photography Awards, he won the Sports category with a series of images of children training in karate, the news agency said.
