BBC Verify has been working to verify footage and images from inside Gaza following an Israeli air strike that hit a tent killing five journalists near the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

One of those killed was Anas al-Sharif who worked for the news organisation Al Jazeera who the Israel Defense Forces have claimed was the head of a “Hamas terrorist cell”.

Al Jazeera’s managing editor Mohamed Moawad has rejected the Israeli allegation and told the BBC al-Sharif was “doing one thing, he was reporting and giving voice to the voiceless inside the city of Gaza”.

Two clips – which are too graphic to be broadcast by the BBC – appear to show the bodies of al-Sharif and another journalist, Mohammed Qreiqeh, being carried away from the scene.

We were able to confirm the location of the incident by comparing the scene with similar posts on social media.

This morning, we’ve seen some daylight footage of the aftermath. Comparing videos posted online with photographs from the Reuters news agency we can confirm this is where the journalists were killed.
