Israel has reported the killing of an Al Jazeera journalist, alleging his involvement in a Hamas cell. Anas al-Sharif, a journalist for Al Jazeera known for his work in northern Gaza, was reportedly targeted and killed outside al-Shifa hospital along with three colleagues. The incident occurred while they were inside a journalists’ tent. This incident follows a recent heated response from Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu towards Keir Starmer.
Al-Sharif’s final Twitter post mentioned the intense bombardment of Gaza City with “fire belts,” accompanied by a video capturing the sound of Israeli bombs hitting the city. In response, Israel released a statement claiming responsibility for al-Sharif’s death, accusing him of leading a Hamas cell engaged in rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and military personnel, supported by what they termed as “unequivocal proof.”
Recent developments show Israel warning Palestinians in Gaza City to evacuate within two months before a planned military occupation. The evacuation deadline, set for October 7, aims to relocate a million people before a full-scale military operation. The UN has expressed deep concern over Israel’s intentions, warning of potential catastrophic consequences. Netanyahu defended the move on Fox News, emphasizing the aim to remove Hamas control and establish civilian governance in Gaza to ensure security and peace.
