Sharif was killed when Israel targeted a tent used by media in northern Gaza, alongside six others, Al Jazeera said.

This is not the first time Al Jazeera journalists have died due to Israeli action while on duty in Gaza. In August 2024, Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Ismail Al-Ghoul and his cameraman, Rami Al-Rifi, were killed during an Israeli air attack on Gaza City.

Sharif, a well-known correspondent, was among those killed. Israel said it had targeted Mr. al-Sharif, claiming he worked for Hamas, which he had denied.
