Israel Defence Force kills Al Jazeera journalist calling him a terrorist

On August 10, 2025, an Israeli strike in Gaza City killed Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and colleagues near al-Shifa Hospital. The Israeli military claimed al-Sharif was a Hamas cell leader behind attacks, citing seized documents. Al Jazeera and press freedom groups condemned the strike, denied the allegations, and called for independent investigations, warning that labeling reporters as terrorists endangers journalists and undermines international legal protections.
