Overview

• A late-night strike on a makeshift tent outside al-Shifa Hospital killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif along with Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.
• The Israel Defense Forces says it targeted al-Sharif as head of a Hamas cell, citing rosters, training records and salary documents recovered in Gaza.
• Al Jazeera condemned the attack as a targeted assassination intended to silence Gaza’s remaining independent voices.
• The same strike damaged part of al-Shifa’s emergency department, compounding Gaza’s already strained medical capacity.
• Hundreds attended funerals for the slain journalists as global groups demanded an independent investigation into the contested operation.
