The IDF announced on Wednesday that six journalists who were actively working for Al Jazeera were members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

The IDF announces that due to information recovered from the Gaza Strip during military operations, they can reveal that Anas Al-Sharif, Ala’ Salama, Hossam Shbat, Ashraf Al-Sarraj, Ismail Abu Amr and Talal Al-Aruki are all connected to the military wings of either Hamas or PIJ.

THE Ismail Abu Amr was injured several months ago in Gaza by an attack by the Israeli Army. During that time, Al Jazeera denied joining Hamas. Documents recovered by the IDF showed this to be untrue.

Some of the documents include staff rosters, terrorist training courses, telephone directories and payroll documents for terrorists.

Al Jazeera employed active terrorists

The IDF said that this “proves beyond doubt that they are acting as military terrorists of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip».

The Israeli military also said these documents proved Al Jazeera used them at the same time.

The exposed journalists are part of Hamas’ military wing that acts as the vanguard of Hamas’s propaganda war against Israel.
