Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza was “silencing of some of the few journalistic voices left” in the region, Tánaiste and foreign affairs minister Simon Harris has said.

Prominent Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, 28 and four of his colleagues were killed while sheltering outside al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City on Sunday night.
