The article reports on the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqla and other journalists in Gaza during the Israel-Gaza war. The Israeli military had accused Sharif, a Palestinian journalist, of being a member of Hamas’s military wing, which he denied. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) called the allegations against him “baseless” and asked for international intervention to stop the Israeli army from killing more media professionals.
The article highlights that nearly 200 journalists have been killed in the war, according to RSF, and suggests that the Israeli military is fabricating stories about journalists before killing them to hide their own actions. It also mentions the case of Shireen Abu Aqla, a veteran Palestinian-American journalist who was shot in the head during an Israeli army raid in the occupied West Bank in 2022.
The article concludes by stating that if Israel had been held accountable for Shireen’s assassination, it would not have dared to kill more journalists in Gaza.
