Al Jazeera staff killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists outside al-Shifa hospital.<\/em><\/p>\n Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed alongside three colleagues in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack, the director of the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City has said.<\/p>\n Al-Sharif, 28, was killed on Sunday after a tent for journalists outside the main gate of the hospital was hit. The well-known Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent reportedly extensively from northern Gaza.<\/p>\n Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal were also among the victims.<\/p>\n In a statement announcing the killing of al-Sharif, Israel\u2019s military accused the journalist of heading a Hamas cell and of \u201cadvancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and [Israeli] troops.\u201d<\/p>\n It alleged it possessed documents providing \u201cunequivocal proof\u201d of his involvement with the Palestinian group.<\/p>\n The Al Jazeera Media Network had recently denounced the Israeli military for what it called a \u201ccampaign of incitement\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 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 Israel has routinely\u00a0accused Palestinian journalists\u00a0in Gaza of being members of Hamas since it launched its war on the enclave in October 2023 as part of what rights groups say is an effort to discredit their reporting on Israeli abuses.<\/p>\n The Israeli military has killed\u00a0more than 200 reporters\u00a0and media workers since its bombardment began, including several Al Jazeera journalists and their relatives.<\/p>\n The Committee to Protect Journalists last month said it was gravely concerned for al-Sharif\u2019s safety and said he was a \u201ctargeted by an Israeli military smear campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Al Jazeera staff killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists outside al-Shifa hospital.
