Al-Jazeera Staff Murdered By Israel

Al-Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack, the director of the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City has said.

Al-Sharif, 28yrs old, was killed after a tent for journalists outside the main gate of the hospital was hit.

An Israeli air strike has killed four Al Jazeera journalists including correspondent Anas al-Sharif in an attack on a tent for media workers outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

From Al-Jazeera:

We condemn the premeditated assassination of our correspondents Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammad Qreiqea, and cameramen Ibrahim Daher and Mohammed Noufal.

The killing of our journalists by Israeli occupation forces is a new, blatant, and deliberate attack on press freedom. As Al Jazeera bids farewell to another group of its finest journalists, we hold the Israeli occupation army and its government fully responsible for targeting and assassinating our team.

The killers of journalists deliberately targeted Al Jazeera’s press tent at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, as admitted in a statement by the Israeli army. Numerous Israeli military officials have repeatedly incited and called for the targeting of Anas Al-Sharif and his colleagues.

We call on the international community and concerned organizations to take decisive action to end the deliberate targeting of journalists.
