FOUR Al Jazeera journalists have reportedly been killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.
The men were all stationed inside a media tent near to Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital which was targeted, according to Al Jazeera.
Correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal have all been named by the publication.
The IDF confirmed it struck al-Sharif, 28, who has been one of Al Jazeera’s top reporters out in northern Gaza.
They have accused him of “serving as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas” for some time during the war.
The IDF did not mention any of the other journalists.
Al-Sharif is believed to have been reporting on the ground via his X account in the moments before his death.
He was warning civilians in Gaza City of intense Israeli bombings.
Israel has already announced plans to takeover Gaza City by October 7 with them warning civilians to evacuate immediately.
It comes as Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “free Gaza from Hamas” thugs once and for all as he detailed Israel’s latest war plans on Sunday.
The defiant prime minister accused the terror group of refusing to “lay down its arms” – leaving Israel “no choice but to finish the job”.
The plan would see the IDF “dismantle” the two remaining Hamas strongholds in the central camps in Al Mawasi and Gaza City.
Netanyahu announced: “We have about 70 to 75 per cent of Gaza under Israeli control, military control.
“Last Thursday, Israel’s cabinet, Israel’s security cabinet, instructed the IDF to dismantle the two remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and the central camps.”
He added this is “the best way to end the war”.
After Hamas is wiped out and Gaza becomes demilitarised, the PM says Israel will maintain “security responsibility”.
A “non-Israeli civilian administration” will be established in Gaza within 24 hours, he added.
What is Israel’s five-step plan in Gaza?
- Disarmament of Hamas
- Return of all hostages – living and dead
- Demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip
- Israeli security control over Gaza
- Creation of a new civil administration that excludes both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority
