An Israeli shelling deliberately hit a press tent set up next to al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, murdering seven people.

Among them, well-known Al-Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, 28, along with colleagues Mohammed Qreiqeh (33), Ibrahim Zaher (25), Mohammed Noufal (29), Moamen Aliwa (23), al-Sharif’s nephew, aspiring journalist, and another freelancer according to local sources.

This was not a mistake: the IDF admitted to intentionally striking al-Sharif, calling him a “terrorist disguised as a journalist”.

A formula already used in other conflicts to de-legitimize those who document massacres. Al-Jazeera and numerous press freedom and human rights organizations have rejected these accusations as evidence-free war propaganda.

Who was Anas al-Sharif

A tireless reporter, al-Sharif was one of the last remaining reporters in the Gaza Strip. Armed only with a camera and microphone, he recounted destruction, forced exoduses, children lifelessly pulled from the rubble. He lived under constant threat: intimidating phone calls, smear campaigns and informal lists of “targets” circulated by the Israeli army.

On April 6, 2025, he wrote words that today sound like a testament: “I entrust Palestine to you… I entrust to you its oppressed children… their bodies crushed by thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles…”

In a message recorded shortly before his death, he said: “If those words reach you, know that Israel managed to kill me and silence my voice… Don’t forget Gaza… and don’t forget me in your sincere prayers.”

A Lethal Conflict For The Media

According to the UN and Reporters Without Borders, over 220 journalists were killed in Gaza from October 7, 2023 to August 2025, up to 242 by some estimates. It is the deadliest conflict for the media in recent history.
