Artists and journalists mourned the martyrs Anas Al-Sharif and his colleague Mohammed Qreiqah, who were killed in a bombing that targeted their tent near Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza.

Veteran Egyptian actor Rashwan Tawfiq posted a photo of Anas Al-Sharif on Facebook, commenting: “The coverage has ended, and the news bearer has become the news.”

Egyptian actress Hala Shiha also shared a picture of the martyred journalist on Instagram, accompanied by a Quranic verse from Surah Al-Ahzab about patience in the harshest of circumstances, saying: “May God have mercy on him and forgive us for our shortcomings.”

Lebanese journalist Rabia Al-Zayat tweeted: “Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqah are martyrs of a direct Israeli attack on truth and justice… This is the criminal usurping entity, killing without mercy and before the eyes of the world.”

Egyptian TV presenter Lamis Al-Hadidi commented on Al-Sharif’s death, saying: “The last thing written by Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif before he and his colleague Mohammed Qreiqah were martyred was after Israel bombed the journalists’ tent near Al-Shifa Hospital. When will this madness end?” She also shared his will, which has become a cry against injustice.

A Brave Carrier of Truth

Anas Al-Sharif was a model of a committed journalist who carried his people’s suffering and pain in his heart, never backing down from telling the truth with courage despite looming dangers. He left behind an inspiring message urging the world not to forget Gaza and Palestine, calling for steadfastness and resistance until freedom and dignity are achieved.

The martyrdom of Anas Al-Sharif and his colleague represents a major tragedy in the world of journalism, embodying the immense sacrifices Palestinian journalists make under occupation, paying with their lives to convey the truth amid a frightening international silence.

Anas Al-Sharif’s will remains an unforgettable cry, reminding everyone that the cause of freedom and dignity must never be forgotten or neglected, and that the voice of truth cannot be silenced, no matter how much time passes.
