Israel says Al Jazeera journalist it killed in Gaza was Hamas 'sniper'
Israel on Tuesday said it had killed an Al Jazeera employee in the Gaza Strip, accusing the journalist, Hussam Shabat, of being a “sniper terrorist” for Hamas. The network said Shabat was killed Monday in an Israeli strike on his vehicle in northern Gaza. FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen speaks to Jodie Ginsberg from the Committee to Protect Journalists. She says Israel frequently smears journalists and produces no credible evidence to suggest that they are terrorists.
