Global demonstrations target Israel and media outlets who have ‘made excuses’ after killing of five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza.

Protests and memorials have erupted worldwide, and calls for accountability are growing after five Al Jazeera staff were assassinated in an Israeli strike on Gaza.

Late on Sunday, an Israeli attack hit a media tent outside the main gate of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, killing Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, 28, along with colleagues Mohammed Qreiqeh, 33, Ibrahim Zaher, 25, Mohammed Noufal, 29, and Moamen Aliwa, 23.

Two other Palestinians were also killed, bringing the total death toll from the strike to seven.

Gaza’s Government Media Office says at least 238 journalists have been killed since Israel’s war on Gaza began in late 2023.
