The broadcaster said that five of the island’s journalists were killed in an Israeli strike near the Shiva Hospital in Gaza City.
Representatives Anas Al Sharif and Mohamed QreiQeh, along with photographer Ibrahim Zahr, Mohamed Nawfal and Maamin Ali in a tent for reporters in the main gate of the hospital when it was targeted, I mentioned the island.
She said in a statement that the “targeted assassination” on Sunday was “another blatant and in -depth attack on freedom of the press.”
Soon after the strike, the Israeli Defense Army confirmed that it had targeted the people of the Sharif, where he wrote in a telegram post that he “served as head of a terrorist cell in Hamas.”
The Israeli Defense Army did not mention any of the other journalists who were killed.
In total, seven people died in the strike, according to Al -Jazeera reports. The broadcaster initially said that four of its employees were killed, but they reviewed it for a few hours.
Its administrative editor, Mohamed Mawadad, told the BBC that the Sharif was an accredited journalist who was the “only voice” of the world to find out what was happening in the Gaza Strip.
Throughout the war, Israel did not allow international journalists to enter Gaza freely. Therefore, many ports rely on local correspondents inside the region for coverage.
Mawadad said of the Israeli strike: “They were targeting in their tent, and they were not covering the line of confrontation.”
“The truth is that the Israeli government wants to silence the coverage of any channel from inside Gaza,” the news room program told the newsroom.
“This is something I have never seen in modern history.”
It seems that Al -Sharif, 28, was deployed on X in moments before his death, warning of the intense Israeli bombing inside Gaza City. It seems that the post, which was published after he was said to have died, was previously written and published by a friend.
In two sections, two drawings of the traces of the strike, which the BBC confirmed, can see men carrying the bodies of those who were killed.
Some shout in the name of QRIIQEH, and a man wearing a media jacket saying that one of the bodies is the honorable.
In its statement, the Israeli Defense Army accused the demonstration as a journalist, and being “responsible for the advance of missile attacks against Israeli civilians and the Israeli Defense Army forces”
She said that she had “revealed intelligence”, which confirms his military affiliation, which included “terrorist training courses lists.”
Last month, the island media network – along with United Nations and A committee to protect journalists (CPJ) – I made separate statements that warn that the life of the Sharif was in danger, and calls for his protection.
Judy Ginsburg, CEO of CPJ, told the BBC that the Israeli authorities had failed to provide evidence to show that journalists who were killed were terrorists.
She said: “This is a pattern we saw from Israel – not only in the current war, but in previous decades – which the journalist is usually killed by the Israeli forces, and then Israel will say after the fact that they are terrorists, but they provide little evidence to support these allegations.”
This is not the first time that the Israeli Defense Army has been targeted and the killing of Al -Jazeera journalists in Gaza, who claimed that they had followed Hamas.
In August last year, Ismail Al -Ghoul hit an air strike When he sat in his car – a horrific video on social media showed his head -and -headed body. A photographer, Rami Al -Rafi, and a boy who passes through a bike.
In the Ghoul case, the Israeli Defense Army said it had participated in the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023 against Israel, which was strongly rejected by the island.
According to CPJ, 186 journalists have been confirmed since the beginning of the military attack of Israel in Gaza in October 2023.
