Middle East Conflict

An Israeli airstrike killed Anas al-Sharif, an award-winning al-Jazeera journalist, along with five others near Ashifa Hospital in Gaza City. Four of the deceased were his colleagues, and one was a freelance journalist. Al-Jazeera and Gaza health officials reported the deaths resulted from a drone strike on a tent housing media members. The UN Human Rights Office condemned the killings, stating they represented a grave breach of international humanitarian law.

Israel's military stated that al-Sharif was targeted due to alleged involvement with Hamas, a claim rejected by al-Jazeera and previously deemed unsubstantiated by UN special rapporteur Irene Kahn. The attack has intensified concerns about journalist safety in Gaza, with the Committee to Protect Journalists reporting at least 186 journalist deaths in the conflict. Al-Sharif was recognized for his work, including as part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning Reuters team.

Un ataque israelí mata a periodistas de Al Jazeera en Gaza

Un ataque aéreo israelí mató el domingo a Anas al-Sharif, galardonado periodista de Al Yazira, junto con otras cinco personas. Al-Sharif había sido amenazado anteriormente por Israel. Cuatro de los muertos eran colegas suyos, y un quinto era un periodista independiente. Al-Jazeera y funcionarios de salud de Gaza dijeron que fueron asesinados por un ataque de drone en una tienda de campaña que albergaba a miembros de los medios de comunicación cerca del hospital Ashifa de la ciudad de Gaza. La Oficina de Derechos Humanos de la ONU condenó el lunes el asesinato de los seis, afirmando que las acciones por parte del ejército israelí representaban una grave violación del derecho internacional humanitario. El ejército israelí dijo que atacó y mató a al-Sharif, afirmando que dirigía una organización militante de Hamás. y estaba implicado en ataques con cohetes contra Israel. Al-Jazeera rechazó esa afirmación. Al-Sharif también había rechazado anteriores afirmaciones de Israel de que estaba vinculado a Hamás. Y la relatora especial Irene Kahn dijo el mes pasado que las afirmaciones de Israel contra al-Sharif carecían de fundamento. Al-Jazeera dijo que el ataque fue un intento desesperado de acallar las voces en previsión de la ocupación de Gaza, calificándolo como uno de los periodistas más valientes de Gaza. El primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, dijo el domingo que esperaba completar un nuevo ofensiva ampliada en el enclave con bastante rapidez, apenas unas horas después y sólo unos minutos antes de que su muerte, ya que Sharif publicó en X que Israel había estado bombardeando intensamente la ciudad de Gaza durante más de dos horas. Los palestinos informaron de los bombardeos más intensos en semanas el lunes en zonas al este de la ciudad de Gaza. En el funeral, una oleada de dolor de otras personas que cubren la guerra en Gaza, que es la más mortífera de la que se tiene constancia para los periodistas, según el Watson Institute for International y Asuntos Públicos. El periodista palestino Mohamed Al-Sikli dice que Israel intentaba silenciar la palabra matando a periodistas y para, cito, ocultar sus crímenes en la Franja de Gaza. En medio de la noticia, otro periodista palestino, Mohamed Qissa, dice, siempre estás pensando si sobreviviremos o no, pero estoy documentando un crimen de la ocupación que debe llegar a al mundo. Al-Sharif formó parte anteriormente de un equipo de Reuters que ganó un Premio Pulitzer 2024 por su cobertura del conflicto de Gaza. El Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas afirma que al menos 186 periodistas han sido asesinados en la guerra, mientras que la oficina de medios de comunicación del gobierno de Gaza, dirigido por Hamás, cifra esa cifra en 238. Al-Jazeera dijo que Sharif había dejado un mensaje en las redes sociales para ser publicado en caso de su muerte. Decía: "Nunca dudé en transmitir la verdad tal cual es, sin distorsiones ni tergiversaciones, con la esperanza de que Dios diera testimonio a los que callaban.
