Al Jazeera’s Award Winning Journalist Anas Al Sharif Killed in Israeli airstrike

On August 10, 2025, Israel’s military conducted an airstrike near Shifa Hospital in Gaza, resulting in the death of Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif, 28, along with four others.

The military claimed that Al Sharif was leading a Hamas cell. The strike also claimed the lives of journalists Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and an assistant. This incident provoked outrage among press freedom groups. Al Jazeera described the attack as a “desperate attempt to silence voices,” while a hospital official reported two additional fatalities.

Israel’s military alleged Al Sharif orchestrated rocket attacks, citing intelligence and documents. However, Al Jazeera and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) denounced the claims as unsubstantiated. CPJ’s Sara Qudah stated, “Israel’s pattern of labelling journalists as militants without credible evidence raises serious questions about its intent.” Al Sharif, with over 500,000 X followers, posted about Gaza City bombardments minutes before his death, per Reuters.

Al Sharif’s reporting had previously drawn warnings from UN expert Irene Khan, who flagged risks to his life. Since October 2023, the Hamas-run Gaza media office has reported 237 journalist deaths, while CPJ has confirmed at least 186, highlighting the war’s toll on media. Al Jazeera rejected Israel’s October 2023 claim linking Al Sharif to Hamas, calling the evidence “fabricated.” Hamas suggested the killings signal a looming Israeli offensive.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned offensive to dismantle Hamas strongholds, amid Gaza’s hunger crisis, escalates tensions. Al Sharif’s death, as one of Gaza’s last reporting voices, intensifies calls for journalist protection. The incident questions Israel’s respect for press freedom, potentially impacting global perceptions of the conflict.
