JUST IN - Israel reportedly Eliminated the Entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza.

• On August 10, 2025, an Israeli airstrike targeted and killed five Al Jazeera journalists—Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa—along with a freelance reporter, Mohammed al-Khaldi, in Gaza City.

• The attack struck a tent near Al-Shifa Hospital where the journalists were stationed.

• The strike occurred hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to expand military control over Gaza City, raising concerns about silencing media ahead of further operations.

Counter-arguments:

• Al Jazeera condemned it as a "targeted assassination" and a "premeditated attack on press freedom," noting the journalists were killed while reporting on Israeli military actions.

• The Israeli military claimed Anas al-Sharif was a Hamas operative, alleging he led a cell responsible for rocket attacks, and reportedly provided documents to support this.
—— Al Jazeera and international groups like the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) rejected these claims, citing no credible evidence and accusing Israel of a pattern of labeling journalists as militants to justify killings.
—— The CPJ noted 186-238 journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, making it the deadliest conflict for media workers on record.
