Some of the most recognisable faces of Al Jazeera have been killed in what appears to be a deliberate targeting of the journalists’ tent in Gaza, as covered by Maghrebi Week on August 18th.
Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqea along with three others and two unarmed civilians, were all killed when Israel launched intense missile bombardments across the east and south of Gaza City.
Israel claimed without evidence that Sharif was the head of a Hamas terrorist cell. Al Jazeera said the Israeli attack was “a desperate attempt to silence voices in anticipation of the occupation of Gaza.”
