Israel’s defense forces said that he killed a man in Gaza who, he said, was posing as a jazeera journalist, but the news network said that Anas Al-Sharif was a journalist and that he and four other staff members were killed in an objective Israeli air attack.
In its coverage, Al Jazeera described the murders of Al-Sharif and four other killed employees.
The network said Al-Sharif; another journalist, Mohammed Qreiqeh; and the camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were killed.
The Network reported that they died “in an Israeli strike aimed at carp journalists in the city of Gaza.”
Israel’s defense forces affirmed that Al-Sharif was “the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas’ terrorist organization and was responsible for advancing in rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and FDI troops.”
The FDI said in a statement about the murder that had “previously revealed intelligence information and many documents found in the Gaza Strip” that said confirms that Al-Sharif was a member of Hamas.
Al Jazeera reported that Al-Sharif was a well-known Arabic correspondent from Al Jazeera who informed widely of Northern Gaza.
The network said that 10 of their staff have been killed by Israel since Israel launched the war in Gaza in 2023.
Israel launched the offensive in Gaza, pointing to Hamas, after the terrorist attacks led by Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023, in which 251 people were taken as hostages. Many of the objectives of these attacks led by Hamas were civilians, including people attending a music festival.
According to the Ministry of Health in the enclave in the enclave in the enclave, more than 61,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the offensive began, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Al Jazeera is a network financed by the Qatar government. The Israel government accused him of partial coverage of conflicts and violence that involve himself and the Palestinian territories.
In May 2024, the Israel government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted to close the local channel offices. Netanyahu at that time called an incitement channel.
A jazeera has repeatedly denied the accusations of incitement made by Israel.
Israel said last week that he will take control of the city of Gaza, an escalation of the war. The measure was criticized and Germany announced that it is suspending the export to Israel of military teams that could be used in Gaza.
The committee of protecting journalists said that Israel has a long practice to accuse journalists of being terrorists without providing credible evidence.
He called Al-Sharif one of the best known journalists in Al Jazeera, who have recently been informing about Hunger in Gaza to the lack of permitted help in the territory.
“Israel’s patron of labeling journalists as militants without providing credible evidence raises serious questions about his intention and respect for press freedom,” said CPJ regional director Sara Qudah in a statement. “Journalists are civilians and should never be attacked. Those responsible for these murders must be responsible.”
After a FDI spokesman accused Al-Sharif of being affiliated with the military wing of Hamas in July, Al-Sharif told the CPJ that he was being taken by the coverage of news that made Israel look bad.
“All this is happening because my coverage of the crimes of the Israeli occupation in the strip of Gaza damages them and damages their image in the world. They accuse me of being a terrorist because the occupation wants to kill me morally,” Al-Sharif told CPJ then.
