The UN condemns the targeted Israeli attack that killed five journalists al -Jazeera

The UN Human Rights Service has condemned the targeted Israeli attack, which killed six journalists in Gaza, calling it a “serious violation” of international humanitarian law.

Five journalists Al Jazeera, including the famous correspondent Anas al-Sharif, were killed in the Israeli airstrike on Sunday, as well as the sixth freelance journalist.

The Israeli military said he was aiming at the Sharif, claiming that he had “served as the head of the Hamas terrorist chamber.”

A group of media rights and countries, including Qatar, condemned the attack. Prime Minister Sir Kire St. Starmer’s press -secretary said the UK government was “seriously concerned” and called for an independent investigation.

Speaking to the journalists, the official press secretary of Starmer said Israel should provide journalists to work safely and reporting without fear.

Sharif’s funerals, al -Jazeera Mohammed Kraika and Ibrahim Zakhar, Mohammed Nufal and Muomena Oliva occurred on Monday after a targeted rocket strike on their Gaza tent.

Mohammad al-Haldi was named physicians at al-Shifa hospital as a sixth journalist who died during the strike, Reuters reports. Another person was also killed in the attack, the report said.

Reporters without borders, a group of media freedom, strongly condemned what he called the murder of Sharif.

The Committee on Defense of Journalists (CPJ) stated that there was a horrific attack, and Israel did not give evidence to support its allegations against him.

“Israel has a long -standing, documented scheme of journalists’ accusation that they are not reliable evidence by terrorists,” the organization added.

The Israeli military suggested that Gaza had documents that confirmed that Sharif belonged to Hamas.

It states that they include “staff lists, terrorist training lists, telephone catalogs and salary documents.”

The only materials that were published for publication are screenshots of spreadsheets that obviously list Hamas operatives from the Northern Gaza Strip, noting the Hamas operatives and what is said to be a telephone catalog for the Eastern Jabali battalion of the armed group.

BBC cannot independently check these documents.

The BBC realizes that Sharif worked on the Media Hamas team in the gas before the current conflict.

Israel says he was the “head of Hamas terrorist camera” but presented little evidence confirming this.

In some of his positions in social media, before the death of a journalist, you can hear Hamas criticism.

Until now, Israel’s explanation for the murder of the entire al -Jazeera news crew has not been explained.

CPJ says at least 186 journalists have been killed since the beginning of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza in October 2023 – the most deadly period for journalists since it started recording such data in 1992.

“Israel must respect and protect all civilians, including journalists,” – said X. “We urge immediate, safe and unobstructed access to gas for all journalists.”

Last month BBC and three other news agencies – Reuters, AP and AFP – issued A joint expression that expresses The “desperate concern” for journalists in the strip, which, according to them, are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.

The Israeli government does not allow international information organizations, including the BBC, freely reported, so many outlets are based on journalists based on gas and coverage.

Meanwhile, five more people were killed in the last 24 hours, including one child, according to the Ministry of Health Hamas.

This brings the total number of deaths from malnutrition to 222, including 101 children, the Ministry of Health said.

The UN Humanitarian Agency said on Friday that the amount of assistance received in gas is still “much lower than the minimum needed to meet the huge needs of people.” Last month, the world’s security experts did not support that “the worst hunger scenario is now playing.”

Israel continues to deny that Gaza has fasting and accused UN agencies of not collecting help at the borders and deliver it.

The UN Humanities Agency said it continues to see obstacles and delays when it tries to gather help from Israeli border zones.

On October 7, 2023, Israel launched the following action in response to the attack on Southern Israel on Southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and took 251 people.

Since then, 61,430 people have been killed in gas as a result of Israeli military campaign, the Ministry of Health reports.
