Ibrahim Jamal Ibrahim Al Sheikh Ali (ابراهيم جمال ابراهيم الشيخ علي)

• Death: Ibrahim Jamal Ibrahim Al Sheikh Ali (ابراهيم جمال ابراهيم الشيخ علي) was killed on December 26, 2024, when a targeted missile strike hit the vehicle he was in near Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp in central Gaza.
• Journalistic Association: The Committee to Protect Journalists has identified Ibrahim Al Sheikh Ali as a media support worker, field producer, and fixer for Al-Quds Today TV (القدس اليوم), a satellite television channel affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist group. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) also listed Ibrahim Al Sheikh Ali in its “journalists and media staff killed in 2024” report.
• Militant Affiliation: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that Ibrahim Al Sheikh Ali and four of his colleagues, who were also killed in the same strike, were confirmed to be Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) operatives based on intelligence from multiple sources. On May 20, 2026, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, released an obituary for a group of military commanders who were killed during the “Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood,” which began on October 7, 2023. Among those named is Ibrahim Al Sheikh Ali, a Platoon Commander in the Central Operations Unit of the Central Brigade.

Note 1: According to the  IDF, this strike resulted in the deaths of four other individuals identified as PIJ operatives:

• Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan (journalist and correspondent for Al-Quds Today TV, as well as security operations for the PIJ in Nuseirat)
• Fadi Hassouna (photographer and editor for Al-Quds Today TV, and combat propaganda for the PIJ)
• Mohammed al-Ladaa (editor for Al-Quds Today TV and combat propaganda for the PIJ)
• Ayman al-Jedi (journalist, camera operator for Al-Quds Today TV, and combat propaganda for the PIJ; former naval operative).

Three of them were confirmed using a list of PIJ operatives found by the IDF in Gaza.

Note 2: Shortly after the incident, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) and the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the killing of these five so-called “journalists,” repeating unsubstantiated claims and anti-Israel propaganda. Separately, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) falsely accused Israel of deliberately targeting journalists.
