Anas Al-Sharif

Anas Jamal Mahmoud Al-Sharif (Arabic: أنس جمال محمود الشريف; 3 December 1996 – 10 August 2025) was a Palestinian journalist and videographer for Al Jazeera Arabic, known for his frontline reporting from northern Gaza during the Gaza war. In 2024, Al-Sharif's Reuters team was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography for their "raw and urgent" photos documenting the Gaza war.

Al-Sharif was killed along with four journalists and two others in an Israeli airstrike targeting him and other journalists in a tent outside the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on 10 August 2025. At the time of his death, 234 journalists had been killed during the Gaza war. Prior to his killing, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Al-Sharif of being a Hamas operative. Human rights organizations and Al Jazeera said this was an excuse to justify the killing of journalists and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) had called on the international community to protect him.

According to his brother, Israel offered Al-Sharif safe passage out of Gaza four days before he was killed if he stopped reporting, but he refused.
