Al Jazeera says Israeli killing of five journalists was 'targeted assassination' | BBC News

Five Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City, the broadcaster has said. The Israeli military confirmed it targeted 28‑year‑old correspondent Anas al‑Sharif, alleging he had "served as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas". But Al Jazeera called it a "targeted assassination" and "yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom".
