About Anas al-Sharif

Anas Al-Sharif (1996–2025) was a Palestinian journalist and videographer born in Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza. He graduated from Al-Aqsa University with a degree in mass communication, specializing in radio and television. Starting as a volunteer photographer and journalist for local Palestinian media, Al-Sharif later became a correspondent for Al Jazeera Arabic in northern Gaza, joining the network in November 2023[1][2]. Known for his fearless frontline coverage, he reported extensively on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly during the ongoing war in Gaza. His work included documenting Israeli military actions and alleged war crimes, often using social media to amplify Palestinian voices and reveal humanitarian crises[1][2][4]. His reporting earned him recognition such as the Best Young Journalist Award in Palestine in 2018 and the Amnesty International Australia Human Rights Defender Award in 2024[1][5]. Due to his journalistic activities and critical coverage, Al-Sharif and his family faced repeated threats. In December 2023, his father was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting their family home. By late 2024, he was subjected to targeted public threats and smear campaigns by Israeli officials and military spokespeople[1]. On August 10, 2025, Anas Al-Sharif was killed alongside five other journalists in an Israeli Defense Forces airstrike on a tent near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Prior to his death, he posted a final message expressing his commitment to truth-telling despite the risks and lamenting the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people[1][2][3]. He left behind his wife, Bayan, and two young children[3]. Al-Sharif is remembered for his courageous dedication to documenting the realities of Gaza under siege, embodying the risks faced by journalists in conflict zones and symbolizing the human cost of the conflict[3][4].
