Gaza City: Five people, including four Al Jazeera journalists, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, according to Gaza officials and the news network.<\/p>\n
The journalists killed were identified as Anas al-Sharif, Mohammad Karikeh, Ibrahim Zahar and Mohammad Noufal. An assistant working with them also died in the attack.<\/p>\n
Al Jazeera said the group was targeted while in a tent near Shifa Hospital in eastern Gaza City. The Israeli military claimed al-Sharif, 28, was the leader of a Hamas cell and confirmed killing an Al Jazeera journalist in Sunday\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n
Human rights activists, however, alleged that Sharif had been targeted for his reporting on the Gaza war, dismissing Israel\u2019s claims as baseless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
