Israel’s Air Strike Kills Al Jazeera Correspondent in Gaza

• Israel’s military targeted and killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif in Gaza.

• The strike was a response to press advocates accusing Israel of a “smear campaign” against journalists reporting on the war in Gaza.

• Both Israel and hospital officials confirmed the deaths, describing it as retribution against those documenting the war.

• Israel’s military claimed al-Sharif led a Hamas cell, which Al Jazeera and al-Sharif dismissed as baseless.

• The strike also killed four other journalists and two others.
