Late on Sunday, an Israeli strike shook al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, targeting a media tent by the gate where journalists had gathered to work. As people rushed to help, it became apparent that four Al Jazeera staff had been killed, including Anas al-Sharif, one of the most famous faces of Arabic reporting from Gaza.

Anas al-Sharif, a well-known correspondent, was among those killed. Israel said it had targeted Mr. al-Sharif, claiming he worked for Hamas, which he had denied.
