Anas al-Sharif was among a group of five journalists that included a teenager, who have become casualties in what the Israeli army alleges was a targeted strike on a Hamas tactical headquarters.

Five journalists working for Al Jazeera, including a teenager, have become casualties in what the Israeli army alleges was a targeted strike on a Hamas tactical headquarters. Anas al-Sharif, a producer at the Qatari-funded network's Arabic service was among the five killed in a strike on a tent in the eastern Gaza City on Saturday, according to the network.

Israel's army claims the building it struck was used by Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, and that Al-Sharif was a member of Hamas' "media wing," a claim that the network rejects. Hamas has not commented on the incident.

While the Israeli military says it is investigating the strike, the incident has sparked anger and concern among journalists and governments, both in the Middle East and elsewhere. The Qatari government, which funds Al Jazeera, called for an investigation into the incident.

Much context for the incident is lacking, and many details are disputed or unclear, including the exact nature of the building's purpose and the journalist's exact affiliations and activities. Indeed, the Israeli military claimed on Saturday that the strike targeted a "Hamas terrorist compound" and that the journalists were "accidentally hit." It later updated its assessment to say Anas al-Sharif was a "Hamas terrorist."
