US EditionIsraeli Strike Kills Five Al Jazeera Journalists Near Gaza Hospital
- An Israeli airstrike on Sunday near Gaza City's Shifa Hospital killed five Al Jazeera journalists, including correspondent Anas al-Sharif and four colleagues.
- The strike occurred amid an ongoing Israel-Hamas war that began in October 2023, with Israel accusing al-Sharif of leading a Hamas militant cell, claims denied by Al Jazeera and unsubstantiated by independent observers.
- The strike also killed local freelance reporter Mohammad Al-Khaldi and damaged the hospital's emergency building, drawing condemnation from rights groups and press advocates who see the killings as targeting journalists reporting from Gaza.
- Al-Sharif, aged 28, was described by Al Jazeera as “one of Gaza’s bravest journalists” and was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning Reuters team that covered the conflict in 2024.
- The strike highlights the deadliest conflict on record for journalists, with at least 186 killed since the war began, prompting calls from the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate and the Committee to Protect Journalists for international action.
