Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif was killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Sunday, alongside four of his colleagues. Before his death, the 28-year-old had prepared a final message to be released posthumously.

Sharif, 28, drew millions of followers on social media and emerged as one of the top voices in the Arab world for his chronicling of the war in Gaza.

Sharif, a well-known correspondent, was among those killed. Israel said it had targeted Mr. al-Sharif, claiming he worked for Hamas, which he had denied.
