An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel on August 10. IAmong them was Anas Al-Sharif, a prominent journalist who had been the recent target of a smear campaign by Israel's military. “Israel’s pattern of labeling journalists as militants without providing credible evidence raises serious questions about its intent and respect for press freedom,” said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. “Journalists are civilians and must never be targeted. Those responsible for these killings must be held accountable.” #Gaza #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/israel…

Journalist Anas al-Sharif along with four other Al Jazeera staff have been killed by an Israeli attack which targeted a tent for the press outside al-Shifa Hospital’s main gate.

A reminder to foreign journalists descending on Damascus: prisoners are human beings who deserve dignity and should not be treated recklessly or used as pathways for clicks. Please treat people with the dignity that they’ve been deprived of for decades.

Journalists targeted, newsrooms destroyed, foreign press blocked: for a year, Israeli forces have methodically suffocated journalism in #Gaza. RSF reiterates its urgent appeals to the international community to protect Gaza's reporters. rsf.org/en/one-year-ga…

Today, RSF filed its 4th complaint with the ICC for war crimes committed by the Israeli army in #Gaza: 8 journalists killed and one wounded. We demand justice for all of the 130+ journalists killed in the Palestinian territory over the past year. 👇 rsf.org/en/gaza-rsf-fi…

1/4 “The assault by #IDF forces on Al Jazeera’s bureau in Ramalleh is an aggressive, military action that should be reversed immediately. The independent reporting provided by Al Jazeera is one of the few dependable sources of information about what is happening in the region.

This is the deadliest conflict for journalists that @pressfreedom has ever documented. More than 110 journalists killed by Israel since October 7. Journalists are not a target and a deliberate attack on any journalist constitutes a war crime.
