An airstrike by Israel's military targeted Al Jazeera journalists outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of two correspondents and several others. Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qureiqa were confirmed dead, alongside four additional journalists and two civilians. The strike caused damage to the hospital’s emergency entrance. Israel's military characterized al-Sharif as a Hamas cell leader, a claim rejected by both Al Jazeera and al-Sharif. The incident represents a notable assertion of responsibility from Israel following the death of journalists amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
"Anas and his colleagues were among the last remaining voices from within Gaza, providing the world with unfiltered, on-the-ground coverage of the devastating realities endured by its people."
"Israel's military described al-Sharif as the leader of a Hamas cell, a claim dismissed by Al Jazeera and al-Sharif as baseless."
