Four Al Jazeera journalists were killed in an Israeli strike near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. The team—correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal—were in a press tent when it was hit, according to BBC.
The Israeli military confirmed targeting al-Sharif, accusing him of ties to Hamas, while Al Jazeera condemned what it calls ongoing harassment of its reporters. Videos verified by the BBC show the immediate aftermath and the journalists’ bodies being carried away.
The Isarel Defense Forces (IDF) said it took precautions to avoid civilian harm. Since October 2023, 186 journalists have died amid the conflict, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
