    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    His wife and children returned to Canada following the Israeli military’s attacks on Gaza after the 7 October Hamas massacre, but Mr Shouman stayed to help report on what was happening.

    Shadi Sakr, a volunteer in Canada who helps Mr Shouman post clips online, said the journalist was in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis and sent him a video.

    His disappearance comes over a month after Mr Shouman told The Independent of his concerns Israeli forces are targeting Palestinian journalists in Gaza, with several of his colleagues killed in strikes.

    Sheltering in a tent next to a maternity ward in Khan Younis’ Nasser hospital, he said on 19 December: “If Israel thinks that by doing this to us, they will make us kneel, they are wrong.

    Another member of the team in Canada told The Canadian Press that three eyewitnesses said they saw Mr Shouman being taken by the IDF when he was leaving Khan Younis to go to Rafah.

    The Israeli military has yet to comment on Mr Shouman’s disappearance but has previously denied targeting journalists and says it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians in its war on Hamas.
