NEWS: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed grave concern over the repeated targeting of journalists in Gaza, following the deaths of five reporters in an Israeli airstrike.
The Israeli army targeted a journalists’ tent near the Al-Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City late Sunday, killing six journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qraiqea, according to the government media office in the enclave.
“We are gravely concerned by the repeated targeting of journalists in Gaza,” a spokesperson for Starmer told reporters. “Reporters covering conflicts are afforded protection under international humanitarian law, and journalists must be able to report independently, without fear, and Israel must ensure journalists can carry out their work safely.”
Israel has killed more than 61,000 people in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, and caused a deepening humanitarian crisis including starvation deaths, disease and forced migration. At least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, according to the UN human rights office.

The Media Refuse To Report Critical Details Surrounding Palestinian Journalist Killed By Israel
Media outlets around the world jumped on the story of a journalist who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, but managed to elide the fact that he celebrated the Hamas October 7, 2023, massacre of over 1200 Israelis and was seemingly close with the late Hamas terrorist leader, Yahya Sinwar.
...
Anas al-Sharif was one of five Al Jazeera journalists killed in the airstrike on Sunday, according to the Washington Post.
...
On the very day that Hamas and fellow Palestinian civilians slaughtered more than 1200 Israelis, raping women and brutalizing infants, al-Sharif posted on Telegram: “9 hours and the heroes are still roaming the country killing and capturing … God, God, how great you are ❤️❤️❤️”
...
Photos show Sinwar embracing al-Sharif and the journalist taking selfies with him and other Hamas leaders.

Yep...killing journalists is just business as usual for Israeli forces. Don't want the truth to get out after all.

Killing a Hamas asset.

What crime did these journalists commit that deserved death? Who makes that decision?
RE: British premier 'gravely concerned' over targeting of journalists in Gaza - Syne - Aug 11, 2025
Abetting Hamas terrorist propaganda, extending the war (needless deaths) and the suffering.
RE: British premier 'gravely concerned' over targeting of journalists in Gaza - Magical Realist - Aug 11, 2025
Define "abetting Hamas terrorist propaganda". Is that really worthy of being killed for? And who is more guilty of continuing this war than IDF, killing Gazans haphazardly for just trying to get food.
RE: British premier 'gravely concerned' over targeting of journalists in Gaza - Syne - Aug 11, 2025
Let me simplify that phrase: Abetting terrorists.
Quit lying about the IDF killing Gazans when you're obviously too chickshit to address any of the counter-evidence I've posted
RE: British premier 'gravely concerned' over targeting of journalists in Gaza - Magical Realist - Aug 11, 2025
So if I post Al Jazeera articles online about what Israel is doing to Gaza, does that warrant me getting killed for "abetting Hamas."
RE: British premier 'gravely concerned' over targeting of journalists in Gaza - Syne - Aug 11, 2025
You're not the one originating the terrorist propaganda.
