Media publication said that at least five al-Jazeera journalists were killed in the Israeli strike near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.Seven people died in an attack on the tent located outside the main gate of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City late on Sunday evening. The victims included Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammad Kreikeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zahar, Mohammad Nufal and Momeman Aliva. Shortly before his death, Al-Sharif, a famous 28-year-old Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent, who reportedly reported extensively from North Gaza, wrote on X that Israel also started intensive, focused as “fire belt” in the eastern and southern parts of Gaza city. In its final video, the loud boom of Israel’s intense missile bombing can be heard in the background as the dark sky is lit in a flash of orange light. Translation: “Nonsstop bombing … For the last two hours, Israel’s aggression on Gaza city has intensified.”A fortnight ago, Al Jazeera Media Network condemned the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), which was called a “provocative campaign” against its reporters in Gaza, including Anas Al-Sherif. Shortly after the strike, the IDF confirmed that he had targeted Al-Sharif, on Telegram that he had “served as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas”. The IDF did not mention any of other journalists who were killed.In July 2023, Al Jazeera Media Network released a statement, condemning the “tireless efforts” by the IDF for “tireless efforts” by the IDF for “Gaza Strip” for the ongoing expedition to target reporters and journalists of Al Jazeera. “The network considers this provocation to be a dangerous effort to justify the goals of its journalists,” he said. The IDF’s statement accused Al-Sharif of posing as a journalist and being “responsible for pushing rocket attacks against Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers. It said that it first confirmed “intelligence” confirmed his military affiliation, including “list of terrorist training courses”. “Prior to the strike, steps were taken to reduce the damage to the citizens, including the use of exact monitoring, air monitoring and additional intelligence,” the statement said. Since Israel launched its war on Enclave in October 2023, it has regularly accused Palestinian journalists in Gaza as members of Hamas that rights groups say that Israeli abuses are an attempt to discredit their reporting. The Israeli army killed more than 200 reporters and media employees as it began bombing, including many al -Jazeera journalists and their relatives.
