Anas al-Sharif, an Al Jazeera journalist, was killed during an Israeli airstrike while working outside al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. Alongside three colleagues, he documented the conflict and had previously raised concerns about his safety. The Israel Defense Force asserted that al-Sharif led a terrorist cell associated with Hamas. Before his death, he reported on severe bombardments in Gaza. He was recognized for his coverage of hostage situations and gained attention for removing his body armor during a live broadcast after a ceasefire earlier in the year.
