Israeli strike kills journalists in Gaza City, worsening the death toll for the media • FRANCE 24
Al Jazer describes him as one of their bravest journalists and the organization says his death is a desperate attempt to silence voices in anticipation of the occupation of Gaza. That after Israel’s military admitted it’s killed Annis al- Sharif and four others describing him as being a Hamas cell leader responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops. rights advocates saying he was targeted for his frontline reporting on the Gaza war and that Israel’s claim lacks evidence. Well, let’s cross live then to Jerusalem, speak to correspondent Ngatanopolski. Noga, bring us up to date then with what the latest is and what Israel saying on this. Well, Israel, as you just said, is saying that he was a terrorist and that it had quote previously disclosed information regarding his terror activity. They don’t say to whom they may have disclosed this whether to Qatar or to Al Jazzer. Al Jazzer in any event denies completely and totally um that any of its employees are terrorists and certainly uh regarding Anasal Sharif and Muhammad Kra who is the second journalist killed in this targeted hit today. Al Jazzer is referring to this as a targeted assassination. Um and as we know many journalists have lost their lives during this war. I do want to say that the IDF, the Israel Defense Forces, on this occasion did release much more information than they usually do when they target someone, but these are all infographics um created by the Israel Defense Forces. We didn’t see, for example, receipts of Anas al- Sharif, for example, having received a salary from Hamas or images or recordings. What we have is an infographic created by the Israel Defense Forces that shows him in a tree of command for Hamas. I don’t think we’ve heard the end of this story at all. Um, and I think we’re going to have to ask for many more explanations from the Israeli government, but mostly from the Israeli army regarding this event. In the meantime, Nogger, is it becoming any clearer exactly what Israel’s plan is for Gaza? It really is not. If anything, it’s getting more and more confusing. And um Prime Minister Netanyahu is having a very tough time persuading his own citizens that he’s on the right track. A majority believe he’s going the wrong direction. But a much larger majority, including it appears, his own ministers have no idea where he’s going. He announced on Fox News on Thursday that Israel intended to take over all of Gaza. He then passed a very unclear vote through his cabinet after a 10-hour debate, but we found out later that the ministers had never seen any operational plan and in fact wasn’t clear what they voted on. Um he then put out an announcement saying not a takeover of Al Gaza but a takeover of Gaza City. Yesterday in his Hebrew language press conference, he really underlined that the Israeli army has never yet focused on Gaza City. That this is sort of, you know, what the Israeli army still has left to do. And immediately immediately families of soldiers who lost their lives besieging and taking over Gaza City in November and December of 2023 spoke up as did all the military journalists who quickly found recordings of Netanyahu saying back then we have taken Gaza city. So it is unclear where he’s leading Israel. There’s enormous uh confusion here I’d say and more and more we’re hearing opposition opposition from parents of conscripted soldiers, opposition from reser. Um a major strike, a national strike has been called for next Sunday by the hostages families. And um Tuesday night, tomorrow night, there’s going to be quite a dramatic event in front of IDF uh headquarters in Tel Aviv with more than 400 Air Force pilots, some still in the reserves, in service, others retired, demanding an end to the war. No, thanks very much. our correspondent joining us there from Jerusalem.
Israel’s military targeted an Al Jazeera correspondent with an airstrike Sunday, killing him, another network journalist and at least six other people, all of whom were sheltering outside the Gaza City Hospital complex. Israel’s military later described Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif as the leader of a Hamas cell — an allegation that Al Jazeera and al-Sharif had previously dismissed as baseless. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in Jerusalem, Noga Tarnopolsky.

How is horror show of a country considered a western ally?
It's like Israel has a checklist of how to mess up and they are just joing through it.
What were they doing near terrorists? Manufacturing fake photos?
The Palis started this war and are refusing to give up. What did they expect? Free Halwa and harissa?
This is a war that’s expected
I guess they're all hamas like UN members. We can't believe the west too much lies mostly France.
Al Jazeera is Hamas. Hamas is Al Jazeera
The fact is that Israel can do these things blatantly because there are no consequences for them.
Demanding Israel to accept all the unrealistic, dangerous and harmful proposals that President Macron and too many other Western leaders are demanding Israel to accept is not only totally wrong, it is total madness in my opinion. None of those countries and none of those leaders who have made such demands to Israel would accept similar demands when it comes to their own countries.
Using the same old failed "two state solution"-strategy decade after decade and expecting a different and better outcome than it has given before is plain stupidity in my opinion. Everybody with any brains should understand by now that "two states"-strategy is not a solution. It`s the main problem.
Maybe don't go to an active war zone, crisis actors?
Israel is a colonialist project for Zionists to take land, justified by the delusional cheese dream of an old book.
Israel is only silencing the voice of the voiceless,,,if this is what it means by being an European ally or civilisation,,,,,the world should turn to communist way of governance, like Russia or China
We don’t believed Israel
Can you also show his videos working and walking with Hamas beacuse its already available in YouTube but your channel doesn't show that side ! Also please include the documents proving his collaboration with Hamas !
Record cruelty in history by nethanyoo and trump.
Amazing all those kids with phones out, they don't look starved to me… but niether do the hamas terrorist either i suppose, all those gaza summer camps for kids to become terrorist paid off..
