So many tens of Amercian billions spent on the Iron Dome, to protect against Qassam candy rockets that have a whole, several kilometers, of range, if the wind is right.. With warheads made of dried piss. Did the burned sugar gave it an authentic circus smell?

LIVE: Israel confirms killing Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif in Gaza City By Lyndal Rowlands Published On 11 Aug 2025 Israeli forces have killed five Al Jazeera staff, including correspondent Anas al-Sharif, in a targeted strike on their media tent outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Israel’s military has claimed responsibility for the assassination in a statement, falsely claiming al-Sharif led a unit of Hamas’s armed wing. Israel killed Al Jazeera crew to ‘prevent coverage’ of Gaza City operation Ori Goldberg, an Israeli political commentator, describes Israel’s killing of Al Jazeera’s journalists in Gaza City as a “targeted murder” and an “assassination”. “And the motivation is only too clear,” he told Al Jazeera from Tel Aviv. “These journalists were Gaza’s last hope of Israel’s impending operation against Gaza City to be revealed and brought to the attention of the rest of the world. When Israel assassinated Anas al-Sharif and the rest of his team, Israel was trying to intentionally prevent journalistic coverage of this impending operation,” he said. Goldberg also called on international media to hold Israel to account. “This is up to the standards of collegiality and professional solidarity that other journalists should have towards those very, very brave men and women who have been covering events in Gaza on the ground,” he said. “If the international media breaks off from the narrative that most of it has been promoting so significantly, so profoundly over the past 22 months – the narrative where Hamas and the Palestinians are directly responsible for any kind of violent death or hostility, but whatever Israel does is described as some kind of mysterious element or described in the passive tense… If journalists start ascribing responsibility to Israeli actions all over the world, I believe it would be a fitting homage to the memory of Anas and the other brave journalists who died in Gaza, and it would perhaps begin making amends for what is ultimately a crime of aiding and abetting the Israeli narrative that has dominated the global media over the past 22 months.”
This Hamas terrorist cell commander was lucky to survive as long as he did. IDF says Gaza documents prove 6 Al Jazeera journalists are Hamas, PIJ operatives Army shares personnel spreadsheets, lists of training courses and salary papers uncovered in Strip https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-s...jazeera-journalists-are-hamas-pij-operatives/ 23 October 2024 "al-Sharif has served as head of a rocket launching squad and a member of a Nukhba Force company in Hamas’s East Jabalia Battalion"
Riiiight....."Times of Israel"...... hmmmmmm, real god's honest reporting. So did Times of Israel make a comment that the judge and jury from Israel of possible 'Hamas operatives', that the Israeli Courts justice system is meeted out by IDF missiles.
Israel kills Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza air strike By Middle East correspondent Allyson Horn 2 hours ago https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...azeera-journalists-in-gaza-aistrike/105635626 Anas al-Sharif reported "extensively from Gaza", Al Jazeera said. (Supplied: Instagram/anasjamal44) In short: Five Al Jazeera staff, including well-known Arabic correspondent Anas al-Sharif, have been killed in a targeted Israeli air strike in Gaza. Israel's military said it had struck an Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza, calling him a "terrorist" who "posed as a journalist", as the Qatar-based broadcaster announced his death along with three other staff. A press freedom group and a UN expert previously warned that Anas al-Sharif's life was in danger due to his reporting from Gaza. Five Al Jazeera staff, including well-known Arabic correspondent Anas al-Sharif, have been killed in a targeted Israeli air strike in Gaza. Al Jazeera says its journalists Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh were killed along with camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa when Israel bombed a journalists' tent in Gaza City, near Al-Shifa Hospital. The attack killed the whole of Al Jazeera's reporting team in Gaza City. "Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed alongside three colleagues in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack, the director of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City has said," the Qatar-based broadcaster said. "Al-Sharif, 28, was killed on Sunday after a tent for journalists outside the main gate of the hospital was hit. The well-known Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent reported extensively from northern Gaza." The tent of journalists Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh and three photojournalists in Gaza City. (Reuters: Ebrahim Hajjaj) Israel had been openly threatening to target al-Sharif for several weeks, claiming he was a Hamas operative, which al-Sharif and Al Jazeera had denied. Israel's military said it had struck an Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza, calling him a "terrorist" who "posed as a journalist". "A short while ago, in Gaza City, the IDF struck the terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network. Anas Al-Sharif served as the head of a terrorist cell in the Hamas terrorist organisation and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops," the military said on Telegram. Just before his death, al-Sharif posted on social media about relentless bombings around Gaza City. Another message was posted on his X account after the bombing, saying "This was what our dear beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom". "This is my will and my final message. If these words of mine reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice," the post reads. "Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp." The post ends: "Do not forget Gaza … And do not forget me in your righteous prayers for forgiveness and acceptance." Weeks ago, the Al Jazeera network denounced the Israeli military for what it called a "campaign of incitement" against its reporters in Gaza, especially al-Sharif. "The Network considers this incitement a dangerous attempt to justify the targeting of its journalists in the field," it said. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) previously said it was "deeply alarmed" by threats and smears made by Israel against al-Sharif, and called on the international community to protect him, predicting an assassination attempt would be made. Palestinian journalists' groups have also condemned the killings. A press freedom group and a UN expert previously warned that al-Sharif's life was in danger due to his reporting from Gaza. UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan said last month Israel's claims against him were unsubstantiated. In July, the Committee to Protect Journalists urged the international community to protect al-Sharif. The CPJ says at least 186 journalists and media workers have been killed inside Gaza during the war, since October 7 2023. "Israel's pattern of labelling journalists as militants without providing credible evidence raises serious questions about its intent and respect for press freedom," CPJ Middle East and North Africa director Sara Qudah said. "Journalists are civilians and must never be targeted. "Those responsible for these killings must be held accountable."
