Prominent reporter Anas al-Sharif and six other journalists were killed when Israel targeted a tent used by media, the broadcaster said.

A prominent Al Jazeera journalist, who had previously been threatened by Israel, was killed along with four colleagues in an Israeli airstrike in an attack condemned by journalists and rights groups.

An Israeli strike in Gaza City late Sunday night killed seven people including five staff members from the news network Al Jazeera, in an attack condemned by press freedom advocates and the United Nations human rights office.
