Source: Independent UK/US
Al Jazeera said an Israeli airstrike killed its correspondent Anas al-Sharif and four other journalists in Gaza City.
The broadcaster reported al-Sharif, 28, one of the news channel’s most prominent voices in Gaza, was killed alongside reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.
The director of Shifa hospital, Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya, told The Independent that in total seven people were killed in the strike, which hit a tent where they were sheltering within the Shifa medical complex in Gaza City.
A lengthy heartbreaking statement posted to al-Sharif’s X account after his death read: "This is my last will and testament. If these words of mine reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.”
