20250811
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera reported the death of five of its employees, including reporter Anas Al-Sharif, as a result of an Israeli attack on a journalists' tent near a hospital in Gaza City.
Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces claimed a strike on Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif, whom they accused of working for the Palestinian movement Hamas.
"Five Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital," the channel said on X.
In late July, Al Jazeera rejected Israel's accusations that its journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif, were working for Hamas, calling it a campaign to justify the killings of these people.
"A short while ago, in Gaza City, the IDF struck the terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network. Anas Al-Sharif served as the head of a terrorist cell in the Hamas terrorist organization and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops," the IDF said on Telegram.
The IDF published a link to documents allegedly confirming Al-Sharif's involvement with Hamas.
