STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners gathered in Gaza City on Monday for the funeral procession of an Al Jazeera correspondent and his colleagues, who were killed by an Israeli strike in the territory.
Israel’s military targeted Mohamed Qreiqeh with an airstrike Sunday, killing him, another network journalist and at least six other people, all of whom were sheltering outside Gaza City’s largest hospital complex.
Journalists were among those who gathered to mourn Qureiqeh and their colleagues as their bodies lay wrapped in white sheets at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital complex.
Officials at Shifa Hospital said those killed included Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qreiqeh.
The strike also killed four other journalists and two other people, hospital administrative director Rami Mohanna told The Associated Press.
In total four of the six journalists killed were Al Jazeera employees, the network corrected on Tuesday after initially saying five.
The strike also damaged the entrance to the hospital complex’s emergency building.
Both Israel and hospital officials in Gaza City confirmed the deaths, which press advocates described as retribution against those documenting the war in Gaza.
Israel’s military later Sunday described al-Sharif as the leader of a Hamas cell — an allegation that Al Jazeera and al-Sharif had previously dismissed as baseless..
It came less than a year after Israeli army officials first accused al-Sharif and other Al Jazeera journalists of being members of the militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
In a July 24 video, Israel’s army spokesperson Avichay Adraee attacked Al Jazeera and accused al-Sharif of being part of Hamas’ military wing.
