Four Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza City

At least five journalists working for Al Jazeera were among seven people killed in an Israeli airstrike late Sunday outside Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, according to the media reports. The attack targeted a tent set up near the hospital’s main gate, striking a location that had served as a workspace for media crews reporting from the area.

Those killed included correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa. Also among the dead was Anas al-Sharif, a well-known 28-year-old Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent recognised for his extensive coverage of northern Gaza.

Just hours before his death, al-Sharif posted on X that Israeli forces were carrying out "Relentless bombardment… ",  on the eastern and southern parts of Gaza City. In his final video, the echo of explosions and flashes of orange light cut through the night sky as he described the strikes: "For two hours, the Israeli aggression has intensified on Gaza City."
