In a chilling accusation, the Director of Al-Shifa Hospital claims that Israel is preparing a major massacre in Gaza and has begun by targeting journalists to silence the truth.

‘We Will Retaliate…’ Hamas Breaks Silence After Deadly Israeli Strike On Al Jazeera Journalists

Hamas has condemned what it calls a “targeted assassination” of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, after an Israeli strike hit a tent for reporters outside Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital. Among the dead is veteran correspondent Anas al-Sharif, along with journalist Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and assistant photojournalist Mohammed Noufal. Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately attacking the press, calling it another blatant assault on press freedom. The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed outrage, demanding accountability. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed targeting Sharif, alleging he led a Hamas terrorist cell. The killings have sparked global condemnation, with media rights groups warning that attacks on journalists are eroding international protections for the press in conflict zones. Hamas vowed to honor the “martyrs” and accused Israel of silencing voices that document its actions in Gaza. The incident further escalates tensions amid the ongoing war. #Hamas #AlJazeera #Gaza #PressFreedom #IsraelGazaWar #AnasAlSharif #JournalistKilled #MediaRights #IDF #ShifaHospital #WarCrimes #FreePress #MiddleEastConflict #GazaUnderAttack #TargetedStrike #BreakingNews #Palestine #Israel #PressUnderFire #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
