Five Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli strike in Gaza

Five Al Jazeera journalists including prominent reporter Anas al-Sharif have been killed in a targeted Israeli strike near Gaza City's Al-Shifa Hospital.

Al-Sharif and another correspondent, Mohammed Qreiqeh, along with cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were in a tent for journalists at the hospital's main gate when it was struck, the broadcaster said.

The "targeted assassination" on Sunday was "yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom", it said. The Committee to Protect Journalists said it was appalled by the attack.
