An Israeli strike near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital has targeted and killed a group of four Al Jazeera journalists and an assistant. The attack has been condemned by journalists and rights groups.
Among those killed is Anas al-Sharif, a prominent correspondent. He was previously part of a Reuters team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2024 for its coverage of the war in Gaza. Al-Sharif had previously been threatened by the Israeli military, which accused him of being the leader of a Hamas cell posing as a journalist.
The IDF posted what it says are documents showing a connection between al-Sharif and Hamas. These have not been independently verified. Both al-Sharif and his network have long rejected Israel’s accusations. Before this attack, UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan said Israel’s claims against al-Sharif were unsubstantiated.
