Who was Al -Jazeera’s journalist killed by Israel in Gaza?

Five journalists from the island were killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza City on Sunday-including the 28-year-old reporter, Anas Al-Sharif, who was prominently reported from the war from the beginning.

Al -Jazeera said that the other four journalists who were killed are the correspondents of Muhammad Qreiqeh, and Kormamin Ibrahim Zahr, Muhammad Noufal and Mamamin Ali.

The broadcaster said that two others were also killed. Hospital officials, Mohamed Al -Khalidi, a independent local journalist, are called as one of them.

The targeted attack on a tent used by journalists has attracted strong international condemnation, including from the United Nations, Qatar, where the island is located, and the media freedom groups.

Israel says Sharif was “the head of a terrorist cell Hamas”, but he provided a few evidence to support this. Sharif had previously denied this, and the island and the rights of the media rejected this allegation.

BBC realizes that Sharif worked in the Hamas media team in Gaza before the current conflict.

In some social media positions before his death, the journalist can be heard criticizing Hamas.

The CEO of the CEO of Journalists, Judy Ginsburg, told the BBC that there was no justification for the killing of Sharif.

She said: “International law is very clear on this point that the only individuals who are legitimate goals during the war are active fighters. After they worked as a media advisor in Hamas, or indeed for Hamas, it does not make you an active fighter.”

“Nothing has been produced by the Israeli forces so far in terms of evidence, giving us any kind of assertion that he was an active member of Hamas.”

People of Sharif became one of the most prominent correspondents of the island in Gaza during the war.

The broadcaster was born in the densely populated Gabalia area in the north of the tape, and worked on the island for about two years.

“He has worked throughout the war inside Gaza in daily reports on the situation of people and the attacks committed in Gaza,” Salah Nigue, news manager on the English island, told the BBC.

He married the four -year -old Sham’s daughter, and a one -year -old son, Salah, who were separated from them for a long time during the war while continuing to report from the north of the region after he refused to follow the Israeli evacuation orders.

A joint post on Instagram showed on his official account with his wife in January this year a picture of a sheriff smiling with his two children. The comment said that it is the first time that Salah met, 15 months after the war.

Sharif appeared frequently in direct broadcasts, where extensive reports were submitted On the situation in Gaza.

He reported targeting his colleagues, including All is the islandThose who were killed in 2024 in an air strike in Gaza City.

His father was already killed in December 2023 when the family home was targeted in an Israeli strike. Hours before he was killed himself, he published an intense Israeli bombing of Gaza City.

Muhammad Mawa, the administrative editor of the island forces, described it as “the only remaining voice in Gaza City” – which Israel is now planning to operate militarily.

“The BBC Sharif was” brave, dedicated and honest – and this made him successful as a journalist with hundreds of thousands of social media followers from all over the world. “

“He was transferred to his dedication to the areas where no other correspondent, especially those who witnessed the worst massacres. His safety for his message was kept him as a journalist.”

Fakier said he spoke to Sharif several times on the phone throughout the war.

“In our recent talks, he told me about the starvation and hunger he was carrying, about how difficult it is to stay with a little food,” he said.

“He felt that he had no choice but to amplify the voice of Ghazan. He was living the same difficulties in which they lived, suffering from starvation and mourning loved ones.

“His father was killed in an Israeli bombing. In this way, he was like all Ghazan: she endured loss, pain and flexibility. Even in the face of death, he continued, because this is a story that must be listed.”

The Associated Press reported that the Associated Press news agency, 33, was the father of two children from Gaza City. Like Sharif, he was separated from his family for several months during the war, as he was reported to the front lines in northern Gaza, as AP added.

The Arabian Peninsula reported that the last live broadcast of QRieh was on Sunday evening, minutes before it was targeted.

The accused, the Israeli army, Sharif, was intersecting as a journalist, saying that he was “worked as head of a terrorist cell in Hamas” and was responsible for launching missile attacks on the Israelis – but she provided little evidence to support these allegations.

In a statement, the Israeli Defense Army said it contains documents “proven” in an unambiguous manner “his” military affiliation “with Hamas, including” employees ’lists, terrorist training courses lists, phone guide, and salary documents.

I have publicly released some of the data schedules that appear to appear to include Hamas customers from the northern Gaza Strip, pointing to injuries in Hamas workers and the department of what is said to be a phone guide to the Gabaliya Armed Group Battalion.

Israel had previously accused Sharif of being a member of the Hamas military wing – which he and his workplace have denied heavily.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF), a group of media freedom, said the allegations against him were “baseless” and called on the international community to intervene.

RSF said: “Without a strong action from the international community to stop the Israeli army … We are likely to witness more murders outside the judiciary than media professionals,” RSF said.

Nearly 200 journalists were killed in the war that launched Israel in response to Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023, according to RSF.

Faki from Al -Jazeera accused the Israeli army of manufacturing stories about journalists before they were killed, “to hide what he committed () in Gaza.” Israel has previously denied targeting journalists.

This is described as a “long -term pattern” and referred to The Israeli army was killed by veteran Palestinian journalist Sherine Abu AqilaAnd, who was shot in the head during an Israeli army raid in the occupied West Bank in 2022.

The Israeli army concluded that one of its soldiers may have killed her, but he called her death unintended. Al -Jazeera said its evidence showed that it was “intentional killing.”

“Here is a decisive fact: If Israel had been responsible for the assassination of Sherine, he would not dare kill 200 journalists in Gaza.”

Sharif knew that he risked Israel after its Arabic spokesperson published a video of him in July and accused him of being a member of the Hamas military wing.

In a post posted on his X account, which was previously written in the event of his death, Sharif said that he “made every effort and all my strength to be support and voice for my people … do not forget Gaza.”
