Israel is internationally critical of the killing of several reporters in Gaza.
The Government of Spain has condemned Israel's attack in the early hours of Monday, which killed six Palestinian journalists in Gaza City, including well-known reporter Anas al-Sharif, one of Al Yazira's leading reporters for his coverage of the war.
The Israeli army announced that it had targeted the tent in front of Al-Shifa Hospital. More than 200 Palestinian journalists and media professionals have been killed since 7 October.

The news of Anas al-Sharif’s killing hit me like a physical blow. A journalist with Al Jazeera, Anas was not my friend in the everyday sense – we never shared coffee, never walked the streets of Gaza together. But he was my neighbour.
