Gaza: Al Jazeera reporter Anas Al-Sharif and four colleagues killed in Israeli airstrike

GAZA, Aug. 11 (YPA) – At least five Palestinian journalists were reported killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting their tent in front of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City this evening, Palestinian media sources reported.

The martyrs were identified as reporter Anas Al-Sharif, reporter Mohammed Quraiqa, photographers Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, as well as crew driver Mohammed Nawfal.

Minutes before his martyrdom, while documenting relentless Israeli shelling of the north, Anas Al-Sharif posted the following:

“To Whom It May Concern, the occupation is now openly threatening a full-scale invasion of Gaza.

For 22 months, the city has been bleeding under relentless bombardment from land, sea, and air.

Tens of thousands have been killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded.

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.

Please share this message and tag everyone who has the power to help end this massacre. Silence is complicity.”
