A resurfaced video shows Palestinian journalist Mohammed Qreiqeh, who was killed last night in an Israeli strike, mourning his mother, who was killed when Israeli forces raided Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza in April 2024.
Qreiqeh was killed along with five other journalists, including Anas al-Sharif, one of Gaza‘s most prominent reporters, in a direct Israeli attack on a tent sheltering Palestinian journalists on Sunday.
Mustafa Barghouti is the Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative.
He says the lack of international action and consequences has enabled Israel to continue its campaign in Gaza, including its targeting of Palestinian journalists and civilians.
An outpouring of grief and condemnation has followed the Israeli assassination of five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza, including prominent correspondent Anas al-Sharif.
The drone attack late on Sunday hit a tent for journalists positioned outside the main gate of Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital, killing seven people. Among the dead were Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed Noufal.
A sixth journalist, Mohammad al-Khaldi, a local freelance reporter, was also reported killed in the air attack. Reporters Without Borders said three more journalists were wounded in the same strike.
Just hours earlier, al-Sharif, 28, had posted on X about Israel’s “intense, concentrated bombardment” on eastern and southern Gaza City. Known for his fearless reporting from northern Gaza, he had become one of the most recognisable voices documenting the ongoing Israeli genocide in the enclave.
