Palestinian media reports journalist accused by Israel of being Hamas member killed in strike

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Prominent Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif, whom Israel has accused of being a member of Hamas’s military wing, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza City a short while ago, Palestinian media reports.

The reports say Sharif, along with a second journalist, Mohammed Qreiqeh, were killed when an Israeli strike hit a tent near Shifa Hospital.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the strike.

In October, the IDF revealed documents seized in Gaza, which it said showed that Sharif was the head of a rocket-launching squad and a member of a Nukhba Force company in Hamas’s East Jabalia Battalion.
