Five Al Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli missile strike near Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The Israeli military alleged that Al Sharif led a Hamas cell, a claim denied by Al Jazeera. The strike occurred as the journalists were housed in a tent near the hospital. Additionally, two other individuals were reported killed in the attack. Al Sharif had recently expressed concerns over heavy bombardment in the area shortly before his death. He was recognized as a significant figure in war reporting from Gaza.
