Al Jazeera is preparing a legal file to send to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over what it called "the assassination" of one of its cameramen in Gaza, the Qatari-based network said on Saturday.
The cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqa, was killed by a drone strike on Friday while reporting on the earlier bombing of a school used as a shelter for displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip, according to the Qatar-based broadcaster.
Al Jazeera said Israeli drones fired missiles at the school that left Abu Daqqa with fatal injuries. Reuters could not verify the details of the incident.
"The Network established a joint working group, which comprises of its international legal team and international legal experts who will collaboratively initiate the process of compiling a comprehensive file for submission to the court's prosecutor," Al Jazeera said in a statement.
Al Jazeera, funded by the Emir of Qatar, serves as a mouthpiece for Hamas. Its propaganda reports fan the flames of hatred.
There is no balance in the handling of information.
For this channel, Hamas is innocent of any wrongdoing; on the other hand, Israel is held responsible for everything that happens in Gaza.
This imbalance, perpetuated by Doha, is detrimental to freedom of information.

Negotiations held in Cairo to reach a ceasefire in Gaza were witnessing a "significant breakthrough," two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday.
Israel will face accusations of breaking international law by refusing to let aid into the Gaza Strip when dozens of nations present arguments at the International Court of Justice during a week of hearings starting in The Hague on Monday.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar announced on Sunday that they will jointly settle Syria’s outstanding debt to the World Bank, amounting to approximately $15 million.
