Five Al Jazeera journalists, including prominent reporter Anas al-Sharif, were killed in an Israeli airstrike near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The group, along with other media workers, was in a designated press tent when the strike hit, killing seven people in total. The Israel Defense Forces alleged al-Sharif was a Hamas commander involved in rocket attacks, claims rejected by Al Jazeera and press freedom groups as unsubstantiated. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the attack as part of a pattern of targeting media in Gaza. Since October 2023, 186 journalists have been killed during Israel’s military campaign.
