Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza City have attended the funeral of five Al Jazeera staff killed in an Israeli air strike outside al-Shifa Hospital. On Monday, large crowds joined the funeral procession, carrying the journalists’ bodies from al-Shifa Hospital to Sheikh Radwan Cemetery in central Gaza.

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.

A prominent Al Jazeera journalist, who had previously been threatened by Israel, was killed along with four colleagues in an Israeli airstrike in an attack condemned by journalists and rights groups.
