Israel assassinates prominent Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

Israeli forces assassinated two prominent Al Jazeera journalists, Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqea, along with their crew in a strike on their tent in Gaza. The attack is viewed as a possible prelude to a major Israeli assault on Gaza City, following the recent approval of a plan to occupy the strip. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the killing, stating it fits a long-standing pattern of Israel targeting journalists. Since the war began in October 2023, over 200 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli military operations.
