Anas al Sharif: If this madness does not end…
Utterly disgusted today by the death of highly respected journalist Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues who have been a key source of honest reporting from the heart of Gaza City. Al-Sharif has been reporting the true horror faced by the Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli onslaught and genocide.
His assassination comes as Israel prepares to launch their assault on and occupation of the City. One of the strongest and most reliable voices on the ground has been silenced.
Israeli media describes al-Sharif as a terrorist leader, proudly declaring him to have been successfully ‘eliminated’ by the IDF.

‘On Sunday, 10 August, an Israeli strike killed six media professionals in Gaza, five of whom currently work or formerly worked for the Qatari media outlet Al Jazeera and one freelance journalist. The strike, which has been claimed by the Israeli army, targeted Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif, whom it accuses, without providing solid evidence, of “terrorist affiliation.” Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns this disgraceful tactic, which is repeatedly used against journalists to cover up war crimes, while the army has already killed more than 200 media professionals. RSF calls for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to stop this massacre.’

Anas Al-Sharif: The Last Word..
‘In the minutes before he was killed, Al Sharif said on social media, “If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased – and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”‘
Five other men were killed alongside al-Sharif. Israel has given no indication of why they were targeted. Like every one of the 63,000 Palestinians killed in this conflict, each of them had a name and a family.
