Funerals have been held in Gaza City for a group of Al Jazeera journalists killed in an Israeli strike near Al-Shifa Hospital. Mourners gathered around the bodies of Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, who were killed alongside three co-workers in Israel’s attack on Sunday. Medics say a local reporter was also killed. Al Jazeera journalists have been protesting the Israeli strikes on their colleagues in Gaza. Al Jazeera – which is a Qatari broadcaster – has long rejected Israeli accusations that Anas al-Sharif was the leader of a Hamas cell posing as a journalist. Al-Sharif had previously been part of a Reuters team that won a Pulitzer Prize last year for its coverage of the war in Gaza.
Rights group Amnesty International is demanding an independent investigation into the killings. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has described the attack as Israeli retribution for reporting on the conditions in Gaza.
