LONDON: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is “gravely concerned” about the repeated targeting of journalists in Gaza, his spokesperson said on Monday, after five reporters were killed in an Israeli airstrike. Israel’s military said it targeted and killed prominent Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif, alleging he had headed a Hamas militant cell and was involved in rocket attacks on Israel. Al Jazeera, which is funded by the Qatari government, rejected the assertion, and before his death, Al Sharif had also rejected such claims by Israel.

The Committee to Protect Journalists warned last month it was gravely concerned for Anas al-Sharif's safety after an Israeli military ‘smear campaign’

Anas al-Sharif, known for frontline coverage, died with three colleagues in an attack outside al-Shifa hospital
