Four Al Jazeera journalists killed in strike near Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital

SUMMARY

Four Al Jazeera journalists were killed in an Israeli strike near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. The victims included Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, who were inside a journalists' tent when targeted. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that al-Sharif was linked to Hamas.

Al Jazeera condemned the IDF for an "incitement campaign" against its reporters prior to the attack. In July, the network highlighted ongoing threats towards its journalists in Gaza. Since the conflict escalated in October 2023, 186 journalists have been confirmed killed.
