Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.<\/p>\n
Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed alongside four colleagues in a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists in Gaza City.<\/p>\n
Seven people were killed in the attack on the tent located outside the main gate of Gaza City\u2019s al-Shifa Hospital late on Sunday evening, including Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.<\/p>\n
Shortly before being killed, al-Sharif, a well-known 28-year-old Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent who had reportedly extensively from northern Gaza, wrote on X that Israel had launched intense, concentrated bombardment \u2013 also known as \u201cfire belts\u201d \u2013 on the eastern and southern parts of Gaza City.<\/p>\n
In his last video, the loud booms of Israel\u2019s intensive missile bombing can be heard in the background as the dark sky is lit in a flash of orange light.<\/p>\n

Translation: Nonstop bombing\u2026 For the past two hours, the Israeli aggression on Gaza City has intensified.<\/p>\n
In a statement announcing the killing of al-Sharif, Israel\u2019s military accused the journalist of heading a Hamas cell and \u201cadvancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and [Israeli] troops\u201d. It also alleged that it had documents providing \u201cunequivocal proof\u201d of his involvement with the Palestinian group.<\/p>\n
Muhammed Shehada, an analyst at the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, said there was \u201czero evidence\u201d that al-Sharif took part in any hostilities. \u201cHis entire daily routine was standing in front of a camera from morning to evening,\u201d he told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n
The Al Jazeera Media Network had recently denounced the Israeli military for what it called a \u201ccampaign of incitement<\/a>\u201d against its reporters in the Gaza Strip, including, most notably, al-Sharif.<\/p>\n
In July, Israeli army spokesperson Avichai Adraee\u00a0reshared a video<\/a> on social media accusing al-Sharif of being a member of Hamas\u2019s military wing \u2013 a claim that has been forcefully rejected as false.<\/p>\n
The Committee to Protect Journalists last month said it was gravely concerned for al-Sharif\u2019s safety and that he was being \u201ctargeted by an Israeli military smear campaign\u201d.<\/p>\n
Since Israel launched its war on the enclave in October 2023, it has routinely accused Palestinian journalists<\/a> in Gaza of being members of Hamas as part of what rights groups say is an effort to discredit their reporting of Israeli abuses.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military has killed\u00a0more than 200 reporters<\/a>\u00a0and media workers since its bombardment began, including several Al Jazeera journalists and their relatives.<\/p>\n
