The media outlet clarifies the number of its staff killed in Israeli bombing on Monday.

Al Jazeera said a recent Israeli strike killed four of its journalists and two freelancers.

It clarified that four of the six dead were staff and not five as initially reported.

The broadcaster had originally reported its correspondents, Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were killed in the Israeli attack on Sunday.

However, in a corrected report on its English-language website, Al Jazeera clarified that Moamen Aliwa worked as a freelance cameraman.

It added that a sixth journalist slain in the attack, Mohammed al-Khalidi, was also a freelancer.

The attack on the journalists’ tent in Gaza City provoked international outrage and condemnation from journalists’ groups.

The Israeli military confirmed that it had carried out the attack on Sharif, one of the most recognisable faces on the channel, claiming that he was a “terrorist” who “posed as a journalist”.

CBI News reports that Al Jazeera condemned the killings and dismissed accusations against Sharif.

It said that the Israeli strike followed “repeated incitement and calls by multiple Israeli officials and spokespersons to target the fearless journalist Anas Al Sharif and his colleagues.

In another news, around 200 journalists, activists, and members of civil society gather for a candlelight vigil in Mexico City denouncing the killing of an Al Jazeera news team in an overnight Israeli strike in Gaza City.
