Tributes, condemnation pour in for Al Jazeera journalists assassinated by Israel in Gaza

 
Israel's killing of five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza prompts global outrage and calls for accountability.

An outpouring of grief and condemnation has followed the Israeli assassination of five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza, including prominent correspondent Anas al-Sharif.

The drone attack late on Sunday hit a tent for journalists positioned outside the main gate of Gaza City's al-Shifa Hospital, killing seven people. Among the dead were Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed Noufal.

A sixth journalist, Mohammad al-Khaldi, a local freelance reporter, was also reported killed in the air attack. Reporters Without Borders said three more journalists were wounded in the same strike.
 
Just hours earlier, al-Sharif, 28, had posted on X about Israel's "intense, concentrated bombardment" on eastern and southern Gaza City. Known for his fearless reporting from northern Gaza, he had become one of the most recognisable voices documenting the ongoing Israeli genocide in the enclave.

The Al Jazeera Media Network has condemned what it called a "targeted assassination" of its journalists.

Below are some of the responses to the killing of Al Jazeera staff:
