The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) admitted carrying out the attack, claiming Sharif was the leader of a Hamas cell responsible for rocket attacks against Israel – an allegation that Al Jazeera and Sharif had previously dismissed as baseless.

It was the first time during the war that Israel’s military has swiftly claimed responsibility after a journalist was killed in a strike.

Well, these are far from the first round of journalists.

As a sidenote, an incomprehensible number of Palestinians have been killed, and countless more have been wounded, terrorised, and displaced.

Global outrage is disgracefully slow!
