For months, Israel has been smearing Anas Al-Sharif due to his relentless coverage of their genocide and crimes in Gaza.
Anas publicly shared his will with his followers after previously reporting that Israeli forces threatened to kill him if he did not stop reporting. Now, Israel has assassinated Anas along with the remaining Al Jazeera team in Gaza:
This is my will and my final message.
If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.
First, peace and God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.

God knows I have given all my effort and strength to be a support and a voice for my people since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of Jabalia Refugee Camp. My hope was that God would grant me life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of Ashkelon (Al-Majdal), now occupied. But God’s will was swifter, and His judgment is inevitable.
I have lived through pain in every detail, tasted grief and loss repeatedly, yet I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is – without distortion or alteration – hoping that God will witness those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, those who suffocated our breaths, those whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered bodies of our children and women, and those who did not stop the massacre our people have suffered for over a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine, the jewel of the Muslim crown and the heartbeat of every free person in this world.
I entrust you with its people and its innocent children who were not granted a lifetime to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies have been crushed by thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and rockets – torn apart and scattered against the walls.
I urge you not to be silenced by chains or confined by borders. Be bridges toward liberating the land and its people until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland.
I entrust you with my family.
I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter Sham, whom time did not allow me to see grow as I dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I wished to support and accompany until he grows stronger, carries my burdens, and continues the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers have been my strength and whose light has guided my path. I pray God eases her heart and rewards her with the best for me.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my dear wife Umm Salah Bayan, whom the war separated from me for many long days and months, yet she remained steadfast like an olive tree trunk that does not bend – patient and resolute – carrying the responsibility in my absence with strength and faith.
I urge you to surround them and be a support for them after God Almighty.
If I die, I die steadfast on my principles. I bear witness to God that I am content with His decree, believing in meeting Him, and certain that what is with God is better and everlasting.
O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and family.
Forgive me if I fell short, and pray for me mercy, for I have remained true to my pledge, without change or abandonment.
Do not forget Gaza.
And do not forget me in your righteous prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.
