Anas Al Sharif, a veteran Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent in Gaza, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a tent in Gaza City just minutes after posting video footage of ongoing bombardments.

His final post on X read: "Relentless bombardment. For two hours, the Israeli aggression has intensified on Gaza City."

Israeli Military Statement

In a statement released after the strike, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) alleged that Al Sharif was involved in Hamas military operations.

"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 IDF said.

Ongoing Conflict Coverage

Al Sharif, known for his frontline reporting, had been covering the intensifying conflict in Gaza for weeks. His death adds to the growing toll among journalists reporting from the war zone.
