Jerusalem — An Israeli strike in Gaza City late Sunday night killed six journalists, according to Al-Shifa hospital, including four from Al Jazeera.

The Israeli military said they targeted and killed reporter Anas Al-Sharif after accusing him of leading a Hamas cell. Mohammed Qreiqeh, another prominent Al Jazeera journalist in Gaza, was also killed in the strike, the network said.

“The order to kill Anas Al-Sharif, one of Gaza’s bravest journalists, along with his colleagues, is a desperate attempt to silence voices ahead of the occupation of Gaza,” Al Jazeera said in a statement after the attack.

In the minutes before he was killed, Al-Sharif said on social media, “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.”

Al-Sharif was in a tent with other journalists near the entrance to the Al-Shifa Hospital when he was killed, according to hospital director Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya. The strike killed at least seven people, Salmiya said. ..................

Israel has just murdered Anas.

He had 1.5m followers and was reporting the truth of their actions.

So they put a missile into his tent.

His last post was just over an hour ago.

They allow no journalists in and murder all those who remain.

Fuck Israel

The world leaders who funded and covered for him should also have to answer.
What the French did in Algeria, for instance, were also war crimes. No one ever answered for those. And let's not even mention our war crimes. They all give each other a pass and I fear they'll give Netanyahu a pass too.

also he's been indicted on other charges in Israel so is already in the legal system... he can be brought to trial once he finally leaves office and maybe other charges can be brought-- but I certainly ain't going to hold my breath for justice.

His whole comportment is of a man assured of immunity. It's maddening
