I'm surprised anybody still takes Al Jazeera at their word on anything. They're no more trustworthy than any Israeli news media. That is to say, not at all.
As for Al Jazeera crying that their journalists keep getting targeted, I'm wondering why I can't find any reports of non-Al Jazeera or non-Palestinian journalists being targeted, when other news media like BBC are more than happy to paint Israel in a terrible light (whether deserved or not).
Israel now has killed the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza. Anas Al sharif was reporting non stop since the genocide began, he was the last journalist standing in north Gaza.
One thing I've learned about the Middle East is that you have to give it a month before even considering the headlines. There isn't a single honest trustworthy media outlet out there. Everyone is partisan or tangled up in everything to some degree. That goes for ALL sides in this conflict.
At least some of those journalists seem to be Hamas combatants.
"According to the IDF, [Anas] al-Sharif has served as head of a rocket launching squad and a member of a Nukhba Force company in Hamas’s East Jabalia Battalion"[1]
According to Reporters Without Borders, Palestine is currently the most dangerous country in the world for journalists. About 200 have been killed there since Israel invaded. Israel has banned all foreign journalists.

This time it's not some collateral damage, they targeted him on purpose and are boasting about it. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1954656049556062533
