An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City killed five Al Jazeera journalists, including prominent correspondent Anas Al Sharif, amid ongoing conflict; Israel claims Sharif was involved with Hamas, while Al Jazeera condemns the attack as an assassination attempt to silence journalists exposing Gaza's situation.
Five Al Jazeera journalists, including prominent correspondent Anas al-Sharif, were killed in an Israeli airstrike near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, prompting condemnation from the network and international organizations over targeted violence against journalists amid ongoing conflict.
The Israeli military's justification for targeting a vehicle in Gaza and killing two Al Jazeera journalists appears to have shifted, with an army spokesperson describing the incident as "unfortunate" and stating that an investigation is ongoing. The Committee to Protect Journalists has called for an independent investigation, emphasizing that journalists using equipment like cameras and drones for their work should not be considered terrorists or targeted. The Al Jazeera Media Network strongly condemned the attack, which occurred as the journalists were attempting to interview civilians displaced by previous bombings, and highlighted the need for legal action against the Israeli occupation forces.
