Israeli strike kills Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and colleagues in Gaza

Israel struck a media tent near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, killing Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and several colleagues. Israel said al-Sharif was a Hamas cell leader involved in rocket attacks; Al Jazeera, press-freedom groups, and U.N. officials rejected or questioned the allegation and said Israel had not provided credible public evidence. The event should be captured as a press-killing and disputed military-justification event, not as a settled finding that the journalists were combatants.
