(Worthy Insights) – The Associated Press reported on Monday that Israel deliberately targeted and killed a journalist in Gaza on Sunday. But, as usual, there is more to the story.
The report details an Israeli airstrike that killed Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qreiqeh, along with four other journalists sheltering outside Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed responsibility for the attack and alleged that al-Sharif led a Hamas cell. Al Jazeera referred to the attack as a “targeted assassination” and claimed it was part of an Israeli “smear campaign” that escalated after al-Sharif cried during a broadcast discussing the starvation crisis occurring in Gaza.
