Five Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City. The Israeli military confirmed it targeted 28-year-old correspondent Anas al-Sharif, alleging he had "served as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas". Alongside Anas al-Sharif were fellow correspondents Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa. They were in a tent for journalists near the main gate at Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital. Al JAZEERA HAS called it a "targeted assassination" and "yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom". The Committee to Protect Journalists said it was appalled and that Israel had failed to provide evidence to back up its allegations against al-Sharif.
