Jerusalem — An Israeli strike in Gaza City late Sunday night killed six journalists, according to Al-Shifa hospital, including four from Al Jazeera.

The Israeli military said they targeted and killed reporter Anas Al-Sharif after accusing him of leading a Hamas cell. Mohammed Qreiqeh, another prominent Al Jazeera journalist in Gaza, was also killed in the strike, the network said.

“The order to kill Anas Al-Sharif, one of Gaza’s bravest journalists, along with his colleagues, is a desperate attempt to silence voices ahead of the occupation of Gaza,” Al Jazeera said in a statement after the attack.

In the minutes before he was killed, Al-Sharif said on social media, “If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Al-Sharif was in a tent with other journalists near the entrance to the Al-Shifa Hospital when he was killed, according to hospital director Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya. The strike killed at least seven people, Salmiya said. ..................
