Is Israel targeting journalists in Gaza?

Marco Werman speaks with The World's Middle East reporter, Shirin Jaafari, about the targeted killing of Anas Al-Sharif, a prominent Palestinian journalist with Al Jazeera, and the broader implications for press freedom in Gaza.

The discussion explores the risks journalists face, the role of Israel and Hamas in media access, and how Israel’s military actions—including double tap strikes—may amount to war crimes.

With foreign journalists barred from entering Gaza and local reporters increasingly under threat, the narrative of the war is being shaped, controlled, and silenced.
