An Israeli airstrike in Gaza has killed Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif, along with four of his colleagues and an assistant, in an attack that rights groups and the United Nations have condemned as a grave assault on press freedom. The strike targeted a tent near Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where the journalists were working.

Al Jazeera described the 28-year-old Al Sharif as “one of Gaza’s bravest journalists” and rejected Israeli claims that he led a Hamas militant cell involved in rocket attacks. The UN Human Rights Office called the incident a “grave breach of international humanitarian law,” while Qatar’s prime minister accused Israel of deliberately targeting journalists.

Israeli forces allege that Al Sharif was responsible for rocket attacks against civilians and troops, citing undisclosed intelligence. However, Al Jazeera and press freedom organizations deny any evidence of Hamas links, noting that Al Sharif had previously faced threats from Israel.

The other Al Jazeera journalists killed were Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, and Mohammed Noufal, while freelance reporter Mohammad Al-Khaldi also died. International leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, expressed deep concern over the repeated deaths of journalists in Gaza, which come amid some of the heaviest bombardments in weeks.
