The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.

The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.

Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.

    I mean, they released the evidence. It’s pretty impossible to deny he’s a terrorist unless you’re sticking your head in the sand.

      What evidence, a few pictures they claim are from 2022 that might just as well be the Journalist reporting on subjects in Gaza or even be literal deepfakes?

      The IDF has edited and falsified picture evidence multiple times in the past, a notable case being with Shireen Abu Akleh, the American Journalist the IDF killed in 2022.

      ” Then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the Israeli military blamed Abu Akleh’s death on Palestinians, distributing unrelated video of Palestinian gunfire during the invasion as supposed proof. However, multiple independent investigations, including by The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Associated Press, and CNN, as well as by human rights groups like Amnesty International, and the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, all concluded that Abu Akleh was killed by an Israeli soldier. The Israeli military itself later backtracked, stating that Abu Akleh may have been killed by one of its soldiers.

        False unless there will be a proof for this case.

      I agree, using journalists as war militants is a war crime that I don’t think have never happen.
