On Monday in Gaza, five members of Al Jazeera and a freelance journalist were mourned during a funeral after being killed in an Israeli strike. Attendees included mourners dressed as journalists who carried the bodies through narrow alleys towards their graves. Israel confirmed the strike and labeled one of the journalists, Anas al-Sharif, as a Hamas-affiliated terrorist. In Jerusalem, graffiti condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza was found on the Western Wall, provoking outrage and leading to the arrest of a suspect believed to be responsible.
On Monday, Gazans gathered for the funeral of five Al Jazeera staff members and a sixth reporter killed in an Israeli strike. The bodies were carried through narrow alleys to their graves by mourners wearing blue journalists' flak jackets.
Israel confirmed it targeted Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, labelling him a terrorist affiliated with Hamas. The other killed staff members included Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa.
The Western Wall in Jerusalem was vandalized with graffiti condemning Israel's ongoing war in Gaza, stating 'there is a holocaust in Gaza' in Hebrew. This act led to widespread condemnation from religious leaders.
Israeli police arrested a 27-year-old suspect in connection with the graffiti incident at the Western Wall. The suspect will appear in court later, and police requested to extend his detention.
