Palestinian journalists Anas al-Sharif and Mohammad Qraiqea, and photojournalists Mohammad Nawfal and Ibrahim Daher, were killed in an Israeli strike that targeted a tent used by the journalists in the northern Gaza Strip.

The martyred journalist, al-Sharif, had been subject to an Israeli incitement campaign accusing him of being a member of Hamas' armed wing and carrying out rocket launching operations.

However, al-Sharif and Al Jazeera Network, whom he reported for in northern Gaza, denied such claims as completely false.

Al-Sharif subject to an extensive Israeli incitement campaign

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) released a statement on July 24, 2025, saying that al-Sharif was a target of an Israeli military smear campaign.

"The IDF have made unsubstantiated claims that many of the journalists they deliberately killed in Gaza were terrorists, including four Al Jazeera staff — Hamza Al Dahdouh, Ismail Al Ghoul, Rami Al Refee, and Hossam Shabat. CPJ classifies such cases as murder," the American non-profit explained.

237 Palestinian journalists killed by 'Israel'

The strike on the tent housing the journalists, near al-Shifa Hospital, also injured journalist Mohammad Soboh, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Since October 7, 2023, "Israel’s" relentless campaign to silence coverage of its atrocities in Gaza has claimed the lives of 237 journalists. Determined to suppress the truth about the genocide being waged against Palestinians, the occupation systematically targets those striving to document its war crimes. While Palestinian reporters risk, and often lose, their lives to bring the reality of Gaza to the world, "Israel" has further tightened its media blackout by banning foreign journalists from entering the Strip, except under tightly controlled, propagandistic tours escorted by its occupation forces.
