Archivist Notes On This Video
- It was extremely difficult for Anas to find his friend beheaded. Immense loss
- Ismail told Anas how he missed his daughter, wife and mother, that he must continue the coverage but missed his family very much
- They often discussed the possibility of either of them being martyred at any moment, even joking would anyone actually survive
- Anas could never imagine ever having to report on the murder of his own friend Ismail, who had already lost his father and brother in the genocide and died without seeing his family again. In addition to the IDF detaining him during its Shifa hospital massacre
- He recounts one of Ismail's last reports about a strike on Anas AlSharif's sister's home
- Buried at Al-Ahli (Baptist) hospital
- The occupation does not want its crimes to be documented in any form, otherwise it targets us, our families and our workplaces
- Ismail left this life and is beloved among his people, colleagues and the people of Gaza City and North Gaza
- I promise you Ismail that we will not stop our coverage, despite the dangers, and I know that I may be targeted at any moment, but I will continue to share your message, speak in your name from Gaza City and North Gaza as Allah wills it
