Al Jazeera’s Hamas Mouthpiece Meets Justice in Israeli Strike

Al Jazeera “journalist” Anas al-Sharif has taken a permanent dirt nap courtesy of a targeted Israeli strike, and the mainstream media, leftists, communists, and Democrats are tearing their hair out over it, mourning the death of a terrorist-loving, Jew-hating Islamist.

A terrorist journalist

The Daily Wire reported he was an outright terrorist himself:

Israel Defense Forces reported that al-Sharif had been the head of a Hamas terrorist cell and advanced rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, adding, “Intelligence and documents from Gaza, including rosters, terrorist training lists, and salary records, prove he was a Hamas operative integrated into Al Jazeera.”

The media mourns the death of terrorists… blames the Jews

CNN’s Brian Stelter practically wept in his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Monday, leading with the subject line: “Al Jazeera in mourning.” As if Al Jazeera is an actual news source and not a propaganda outfit for Islamists. He quoted a colleague who referred to al-Sharif as “a household name for many in the Arabic-speaking world” who documented “the horrors that we are seeing in the Gaza Strip,” according to The Washington Free Beacon.

The Beacon further reported:

Declassified Israeli intelligence, however, shows that Hamas terrorists in the strip knew Al-Sharif for different reasons. Documents discovered by the IDF in Gaza identify Al-Sharif as a leader in a Hamas rocket-launching squad and member of the Nukhba forces, the commando unit behind the Oct. 7 massacre. Stelter referenced the documents before noting that Al Jazeera, which is financed by the Qatari government, “strongly denies the claim.”

Al Jazeera “journalist” celebrates Oct. 7 slaughter

It should also come as no surprise that al-Sharif was named in a lawsuit from American victims of the horrific attack that took place on October 7, 2023, where 1,200 people were butchered. That doesn’t count the kidnapping, raping, and torture that occurred to men, women, children, and even babies. The suit contends that Al Jazeera provides “substantial assistance” to Hamas. It also quotes messages that al-Sharif posted on Telegram praising the monstrous attack as it played out.

“9 hours later and the heroes are still roaming the country, killing and capturing… God, God, how great you are,” the Al Jazeera talking head proclaimed hours after the atrocity went viral. “It is a jihad, a jihad of victory and martyrdom,” he said in another post. “Allahu akbar and thank God.”

He also went on to post photos of dead Israeli soldiers who were stomped on. One of the pics was captioned: “The army wants to exterminate people under their rugs ” Even more damning are the photos of Sharif himself posing with Hamas leaders before the attack. One of those was Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, who has since been dispatched to Hell.

Media ignores facts, spews propaganda

It’s not shocking in the least that this was revealed by the Beacon as opposed to CBS News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Time, who couldn’t be bothered by these facts. They were too busy slamming Israel for taking down a “journalist.”

The Beacon noted:

The Post piece, headlined, “Palestinians mourn Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, crew in Gaza,” said the strike on Al-Sharif “underscored the perils faced by Palestinian journalists in Gaza, where they have reported through hunger, displacement, fierce bombardment and the loss of family members.” It was written by London correspondent Louisa Loveluck, an Al Jazeera veteran who was part of the Post team named as a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting on Gaza. Loveluck recently penned a piece that accused Israel of killing scores of Gazans near a humanitarian aid site without making clear that the claim came from Hamas. The Post later acknowledged that the piece did not meet its standards.

Reuters also called al-Sharif a “prominent Al Jazeera journalist.” 

More on the media terrorist lovefest from the Daily Wire:

CNN quoted Al Jazeera English’s director of news, Salah Negm, saying the airstrike was “killing the messenger and trying to eliminate any eyewitness to atrocities and genocide.”

AP huffed, “Observers have called this the deadliest conflict for journalists in modern times,” then quoted al-Sharif writing before he died, “I never hesitated for a single day to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification.”

The BBC called al-Sharif a “prominent reporter.” The Guardian echoed that al-Sharif was a “prominent Al Jazeera journalist,” and gave a more lengthy version of the al-Sharif post that stated he had “lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification.”

The New York Times referred to al-Sharif as a “well-known correspondent for Al Jazeera,” and also quoted the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry claiming that Israel had caused “61,000 deaths.”

And, of course, Al Jazeera was outraged: “Al Jazeera Media Network condemns in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh … by the Israeli occupation forces in yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom.”

“Anas and his colleagues were among the last remaining voices from within Gaza, providing the world with unfiltered, on-the-ground coverage of the devastating realities endured by its people. While international media was barred from entering, Al Jazeera journalists remained within besieged Gaza, experiencing the hunger and suffering they documented through their lenses,” the outlet railed in a statement. 

Any so-called journalists operating in the Gaza Strip do so under the thumb of Hamas. Israel banned Al Jazeera last year for “broadcasting propaganda in the service of Hamas, in Arabic and English, to viewers around the world.”

The UN also predictably had a meltdown over the strike.

Terrorist connections

The Beacon wrote:

The overlap between Al Jazeera and Hamas has been well documented. Al Jazeera reporter Tamer Almisshal, for example, reportedly produced elaborate Hamas propaganda ceremonies in which the terrorist outfit paraded Israeli hostages through the Gazan streets as onlookers celebrated. A Hamas operative who held hostages in his home, Abdallah Aljamal, also moonlit as a “journalist” for a little-known U.S. publication called the Palestine Chronicle. The publication’s founder and editor in chief, Ramzy Baroud, formerly served as an Al Jazeera editor and executive.

Over the decades, Al Jazeera has published a number of false reports accusing Israel of atrocities. A 2013 story charged Israel with opening dams to intentionally flood Gaza. Al Jazeera retracted that reporting two years later, issuing an embarrassing editor’s note that acknowledged there “are no dams of the type which can be opened.” Years later, Al Jazeera corrected a report that referred to the Israeli coastal city of Haifa as “northern occupied Palestine.”

Other Al Jazeera journalists mentioned in the declassified Israeli documents that revealed al-Sharif’s Hamas affiliation included Alaa Salama, Hossam Shabat, Ashraf al-Saraj, Ismail Abu Omar, and Talal Aruki. Every single one of them was either tied to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Shabat was also a sniper in Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion. He was sent to the afterlife in March by another Israeli strike. Before his timely death, he wrote for Drop Site News, “an anti-Israel site founded by U.S. journalist Ryan Grim, formerly of HuffPost and the Intercept.” Grim wrote on X, calling him “one of the greatest journalists of all time.”

Al-Sharif and his four comrades, who were taken out by the Israelis, were terrorists. If you lie down with terrorists, you can expect to wind up dead.
