BBC reporter in Gaza looks terrified as rocket suddenly lands behind him live on air


A BBC reporter in Gaza was terrified when a rocket suddenly landed behind him while he was live on air tonight.

One viewer complimented correspondent Rushdi Abualouf, who was live from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, for his bravery “risking his life as the bombing continues”.

Another said his work has been “both inspirational and heartbreaking to see”.

Mr Abualouf appeared to grimace and duck his head as a missile landed nearby.

As well as covering the war as a correspondent, Mr Abualouf has been documenting his family’s experience of the war on social media.

He posted on X, formerly Twitter, on October 20: “Once again my family survived a nearby air strike, drone strike hit the upper floors of a building, they were in the ground floor, my wife was lightly hurt by a rock falling on her head.”
