A late-night strike on 10 August 2025 hit a tent used by media workers at the main gate of Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, killing five Al Jazeera staff members and a freelance photojournalist, according to Al Jazeera, UNESCO and the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Anas al-Sharif, 28 — Correspondent, Al Jazeera Arabic
A widely recognised on-air reporter in Gaza, al-Sharif was killed at the journalists’ tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital on 10 August 2025. He was 28, a father of two, born in Jabalia, and a media graduate of Al-Aqsa University.
Israel’s military alleged he headed a Hamas cell; Al Jazeera and press-freedom advocates disputed the claim and said no evidence had been presented. UNESCO condemned the killing and called for a thorough investigation.
Mohammed Qreiqeh, 33 — Correspondent, Al Jazeera Arabic
Qreiqeh was on air shortly before the strike and was killed alongside colleagues at the Al-Shifa gate camp. He was 33, born in Gaza City in 1992, lived in Shujayea, and held a BA in journalism and media from the Islamic University of Gaza. UNESCO listed him among the six journalists killed in the 10 August attack.
Ibrahim Zaher, 25 — Camera operator, Al Jazeera
Zaher, 25, was from Jabalia refugee camp and worked as a cameraman for Al Jazeera. He died in the same strike on the journalists’ tent at Al-Shifa’s main gate. UNESCO named him among the victims and condemned the attack.
Mohammed Noufal, 29 — Camera operator, Al Jazeera
Noufal, 29, also hailed from Jabalia and worked as a cameraman for the network. Al Jazeera reported that he had previously lost his mother and a brother in earlier strikes; another brother, Ibrahim, also works as a cameraman. He was killed at the Al-Shifa gate media camp on 10 August.
Moamen Aliwa, 23 — Camera operator, Al Jazeera
Aliwa was among the five Al Jazeera staff killed in the targeted strike on 10 August 2025; Al Jazeera and UNESCO recorded his death and listed his role as a camera operator.
Mohammed al-Khaldi — Freelance photojournalist
A local freelancer, al-Khaldi was also killed in the same attack near Al-Shifa Hospital, as confirmed by UNESCO and multiple news outlets.
Al Jazeera described the incident as a targeted attack on its team at the Al-Shifa gate. CPJ said journalists “must never be targeted in war” and urged accountability; UNESCO called for a transparent investigation.
