An Israeli airstrike on August 10, 2025, targeted a press tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, killing six journalists, including five from Al Jazeera. Among the deceased was Anas al-Sharif, a prominent and award-winning Al Jazeera correspondent widely recognized as a leading voice reporting from Gaza during the ongoing conflict. The Israeli military claimed it targeted al-Sharif, accusing him of leading a Hamas militant cell, allegations that both al-Sharif and Al Jazeera have rejected. The strike also killed Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa, and Mohammed Noufal, all affiliated with Al Jazeera. The attack drew condemnation from the United Nations, including Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, press freedom groups, and various international media organizations, which described the strike as a breach of international humanitarian law and part of a systematic policy to silence Palestinian journalists. Funeral services for the journalists were held amid widespread mourning in Gaza City. Al Jazeera's managing editor Mohamed Moawad characterized the killing as part of a pattern of degrading and delegitimizing journalists. The incident has intensified concerns about the safety of journalists in Gaza, where over 200 have been killed since the conflict began nearly two years ago.
