In a statement shared on X, Sheikh Mohammed described the killings as “crimes beyond imagination,” adding, “The deliberate targeting of journalists by Israel in the Gaza Strip reveals how these crimes are beyond imagination... May God have mercy on journalists Anas Al-Sharif, Mohammed Qraiqea, and their colleagues.”

The deliberate targeting of journalists by Israel in the Gaza Strip reveals how these crimes are beyond imagination, amid the inability of the int'l community & its laws to stop this tragedy. May God have mercy on journalists Anas Al-Sharif, Mohammed Qraiqea, & their colleagues.

On Monday, hundreds of mourners gathered to bid farewell to two of Al Jazeera’s most dedicated correspondents, Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammad Qureiqa, as their bodies were transported from Al-Shifa Medical Complex to their family homes in Gaza.

The funeral procession saw a large turnout of journalists, local residents, and supporters who chanted slogans denouncing the Israeli Occupation’s repeated attacks on media workers. The ceremony reflected the deep respect and sorrow felt across the community for the loss of two voices who tirelessly documented the ongoing conflict.
