In the early hours of Monday, Israeli occupation forces carried out a targeted attack on a media tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, killing a number of journalists, including Al-Sharif.
Following the news of his martyrdom, impressive footage surfaced online showing him and his daughter saying that they would not leave Gaza.
In a final message, written on April 6, to be published in the event of his martyrdom, al-Sharif said he “lived the pain in all its details” and “tasted grief and loss repeatedly.”
