Five Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli attack. Who were they?
Five Al Jazeera journalists were killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza city on Sunday (local time), the network reported. Among them was Anas al-Sharif, a journalist who had been covering the war in Gaza extensively and had a massive following on social media, and who the Israeli defence forces declared as 'terrorist'. A little after his death, a final message was posted from al-Sharif's account which was written on April 6.(File/AFP) In a targeted attack, the Israeli forces hit a tent housing journalists outside the gate of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza city, killing seven people, the Al Jazeera report said. Among them, five were journalists working with the network. Who are the Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli attack The five journalists who have been killed are - Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh who worked as correspondents, and Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa, who worked as camera operators. Shortly before he was killed, Anas al-Sharif, 28, reported there was 'relentless bombardment' and that the 'Israeli aggression has intensified on Gaza City'. He also shared a video on his X account in which multiple explosions can be heard. Also read: Haunting last words of Al Jazeera journalist killed in Gaza: 'My final message' Anas al-Sharif's X account, where he shared regular updates about the war in Gaza, has over half a million followers. A little after his death, a final message was posted from al-Sharif's account which was written on April 6, and was to be published in case he died. 'I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification,' the message read. Mohammad Qureiqi also covered the war in Gaza extensively alongside Anas al-Sharif. Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha, in a post on X, said that Qureiqi was born on March 15, 1992 in Gaza's Shujaeeya neighborhood. HT could not independently verify this. He also shared a video of Qureiqi reuniting with his family during the ceasefire in January this year, which he said was shot by Anas al-Sharif. Al Jazeera condemns killings Al Jazeera has condemned the killing of its journalists and termed it 'yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom'. 'The order to assassinate Anas Al Sharif, one of Gaza's bravest journalists, and his colleagues, is a desperate attempt to silence the voices exposing the impending seizure and occupation of Gaza,' the network said. 'Al Jazeera emphasises that immunity for perpetrators and the lack of accountability embolden Israel's actions and encourage further oppression against witnesses to the truth,' it added.

Netanyahu cares for nothing
Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't care. He doesn't care that Palestinian civilians are dying. If he did, he'd call the food trucks in and order his bombers out. He doesn't care that Israeli hostages are dying. If he did, he'd declare a ceasefire to allow some to be exchanged, the only way that large numbers of hostages have been recovered in this war to date. He doesn't care that three-quarters of Israelis want an end to the war to allow the remaining hostages to be freed, according to a Channel 12 poll last month. He doesn't care that more Israeli soldiers will die, in addition to the 454 killed so far in ground operations under his command since the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre. If he did, he'd heed the warning of the Israeli army chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, who last week said that the prime minister's stated intention to occupy Gaza would 'place a heavy burden on, and lead to the erosion of, both the reserve and compulsory service soldiers', according to Channel 12. As well as 'significantly endanger the lives of the hostages', Zamir reportedly said. Loading Netanyahu doesn't care that every one of his previous military operations which he'd pledged would 'eliminate' Hamas has failed to meet this objective. Or that his stated objective of elimination is unachievable. If he did, he'd declare a realistic aim instead. Such as degrading Hamas to the point where it can no longer attack Israel, a mission Israel's forces already have accomplished. As 600 of Israel's former security officials, generals and spy chiefs wrote in an open letter to Trump last week: 'It is our professional judgment that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel.' Netanyahu doesn't care that most of the people of his vital ally, the United States, have turned against Israel as a result of his atrocities in Gaza, according to a Pew Research Center poll in March. Or that 78 per cent of Americans want an immediate ceasefire, according to an Economist/YouGov poll last week.
