Six journalists, including five from the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, were killed on Sunday, August 10, in an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip. Among them was Anas al-Sharif, whom the Israeli army acknowledged killing, labeling him a "terrorist."

These allegations were condemned by the United Nations on July 31, 2025: "Online attacks and unfounded accusations by the Israeli army against Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif are a blatant attempt to endanger his life and silence his reporting on the genocide in Gaza."

Since the start of the war, nearly 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza, according to Reporters Without Borders.
