Al-Jazeera television mourned Tuesday cameraman Zakaria Ibrahim, who was killed in Syria and was its sixth staff member to die covering the conflict that broke out in 2011.
"Al-Jazeera connected Zakaria Ibrahim and his other colleagues in Syria, who were living under siege, to the rest of the world," said Arabic-language managing director Yaser Abuhilalah.
"The channel will not spare any effort in alleviating the pain of their families and ensuring their security."
Ibrahim succumbed to his injuries Monday after being shot by a sniper in the Teldo village, Homs province, several days earlier.
He had worked for the Doha-based broadcaster since 2014.
"It is tragic that we have lost many colleagues in the line of duty this year," Abuhilalah said .
"We depend and will continue to depend on our teams in Syria, who never left their besieged and demolished hometowns."
