An Al Jazeera journalist warned Israel was targeting him. Now he's dead. - Poynter
Briefly

The Israeli military killed Anas al-Sharif, a journalist from Al Jazeera, in a strike on Gaza City. The director of Shifa Hospital stated the attack seemed targeted at a journalistic tent outside the hospital. The Israeli military accused al-Sharif of leading a terrorist cell within Hamas, claiming to have documentation of his involvement. His claims of being targeted had been warned about by the Committee to Protect Journalists, emphasizing the need for international protection. Al-Sharif defended his work as crucial reporting on Israeli actions, arguing the accusations were attempts to morally undermine him.
Israel has killed at least six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza during this war. These latest unfounded accusations represent an effort to manufacture consent to kill Al-Sharif.
Anas al-Sharif's coverage of the crimes of the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip harms them and damages their image in the world.
