Protests Worldwide Decry Israel’s Assassination of Journalists

HeadlineAug 14, 2025

Protests were held in multiple cities across the globe on Wednesday to condemn Israel’s targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, after Israel killed six journalists in a targeted strike on a media tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The dead included five journalists with Al Jazeera, including its prominent correspondent Anas Al-Sharif. This is Mariam Elsayeh of the National Union of Journalists at a vigil in London.

Mariam Elsayeh Ibrahim: “Anas al-Sharif would always have a slogan that the coverage will continue. And this is questionable now, after the killing of journalists is getting more and more. We now are losing a whole generation of journalists. Journalists are killed, are aged 23. Where is the journalists are age 40? They are all killed.”
