Jadallah has been documenting the social and humanitarian conditions in Gaza for over 15 years through photojournalism. His work is based on direct on-the-ground reporting, especially during periods of conflict. The destruction caused by attacks in Gaza, civilian casualties, healthcare conditions, and the humanitarian crisis form the central focus of his photographic output.

During the 2018–2019 period, Anadolu Agency photojournalist Ali Jadallah covered the “Great March of Return” protests in Gaza and was injured multiple times during Israeli military interventions. In March 2018, he was wounded in the right hand by shrapnel; in June 2018, he was shot in the left hand by a live bullet; in May 2019, he was hit in the head by a tear gas canister; and on 30 August 2019, he sustained a head injury from a rubber-coated metal bullet. After the last incident, he was hospitalized, received stitches on his head, and suffered prolonged health complications.

In the early days of the intense attacks that began on 7 October 2023, his family home was targeted; in this attack, he lost his father, two siblings, and three cousins. His mother, who was undergoing dialysis, was rescued alive from the rubble with serious injuries. Due to impossible conditions, Jadallah was only able to recover the bodies of his family members three days later. His wife, children, and mother were evacuated from Gaza and brought to Türkiye; Jadallah remained in Gaza to continue his photojournalism work.

Ali Jadallah’s photographs form the visual foundation of the Anadolu Agency publications Kanıt (The Evidence) and Tanık (The Witness). These works have been used as documentary evidence on international platforms and in legal proceedings. One of Jadallah’s photographs was presented to the public by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
