The UN has condemned a targeted Israeli attack that killed six journalists in Gaza.

The human rights office called it a “grave breach” of international humanitarian law.

Al Jazeera called it a “targeted assassination” and “yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom”.

Five of the broadcaster’s journalists, including prominent correspondent Anas al-Sharif, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Sunday night, alongside a sixth freelance journalist.

According to BBC News, Israeli military said it targeted the Al Jazeera journalist because of his suspected association with Hamas.

The journalists were stationed opposite Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza.
