Israel’s military on Sunday said it had struck an Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza, calling him a “terrorist” who “posed as a journalist”, as the Qatar-based broadcaster announced his death along with three other staff.
“A short while ago, in Gaza City, the IDF struck the terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network. Anas Al-Sharif served as the head of a terrorist cell in the Hamas terrorist organization and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops,” the military said on Telegram.
