Qatar's flagship Al Jazeera TV said on Wednesday that its reporter Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Ramy El Rify were killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza City.

Anas Al-Sharif, a colleague of the two dead journalists, told Al-Jazeera that Ghoul and Rify were on mission to film near the house of Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas chief killed in Iran earlier on Wednesday in an attack the movement blamed on Israel.

The Hamas-run Gaza government media office said the new deaths raised to 165 the number of Palestinian journalists who were killed by Israeli fire since Oct 7.

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit cautioned that Israel's reckless actions in the region could have dire consequences.

In a statement on Wednesday, Aboul Gheit said Israel is "practicing a reckless policy without foreseeing the dire consequences that could affect the region as a result of its actions."

He condemned the recent Israeli "assassinations" as breaches of international law, demonstrating a disregard for the regulations that govern state relations.

He urged the international community to step up pressure on Israel in order to avert additional escalation and the possibility of a wider regional conflict.
