Al Jazeera 'journalists' in Gaza were terrorists: IDF presents evidence
[Jpost] IDF Chief Spokesman Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari on Wednesday night presented evidence to prove that two Gazook journalists killed by the IDF on Sunday were terrorists.
Unexpectedly. Actually, as we predicted, but anyway.
Regarding Hamza al-Dahdouh,
...previously in our archives as Hamza Wael Dahdouh...
the son of Al Jazeera's chief correspondent in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Wael al-Dahdouh, Hagari said that Israeli forces had found Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
internal documents in their various command centers in Gaza proving he was part of their terror ranks.

The IDF presented a copy of the document in Arabic, which it said listed Hamza as a dual-hat terrorist-journalist for Islamic Jihad.
One of many. It’s the way the smart money bets in that part of the world.
The Jerusalem Post could not confirm what the document said, and there was no English translation, but the IDF said that it listed Hamza as working for the terror group's electric engineering unit.
Impressive, if terribly wasteful when he could have been designing better poo ponds.
Documents also said that Hamza had previously served as a terrorist battalion leader for the Zeitoun area of northern Gaza and that he was still currently responsible for firing Islamic Jihad rockets in that area.

IDF SAYS THERE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT LINK JOURNALIST TO HAMAS
Hagari said that similar documents were found by Israeli forces in Hamas
...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
command centers linking the other journalist, Mustafa Thuraya, to Hamas.

He said the documents said that Thuraya was a deputy chief of a terror cell.

Further, Hagari said that both had been involved in activating drones which caused danger to Israeli forces and which led to the air strike against them.

On Sunday, Paleostinian media reported that the son of the head of Al Jazeera in Gaza was killed by the IDF along with a photographer. IDF responses until Wednesday night had alternated from somewhat defensive to suggesting the two were terrorists, but without offering much evidence.

Al Jazeera has denied the two were holy warriors and accused the IDF of illegally targeting Paleostinian journalists, but had not publicly responded to the latest more specific IDF allegations at press time.
In Sunday’s strike in Rafah, Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza correspondent Wael Dahdouh, and Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for AFP who was also working for the Qatar-based TV outlet, were both killed. A third journalist, Hazem Rajab, was seriously wounded, Al Jazeera said.
Mr. Rajab being the targetted drone operator, who creates content and is a photojournalist in his spare time. Giving us all three names — with two spellings — in one place. Woot! Also surviving the strike were photojournalist Amer Abu Amr and another journalist, Ahmed al-Bursh. Talk about clown cars!
Dahdouh, according to the IDF, was a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It said documents recovered by troops in Gaza reveal he served in Islamic Jihad’s electronic engineering unit, and previously was a deputy commander in the Zeitoun Battalion’s rocket force.

The IDF attached a copy of the document showing Dahdouh was a member of Islamic Jihad’s electronic engineering unit.
Not electrical engineering? What’s the difference?
Thuria and Hamza Wael Dahdouh had been tasked with filming the aftermath of a strike on a house in Rafah and their car was hit while they were on their way back, AFP correspondents said.

The Committee to Protect Journalists says at least 79 Palestinian reporters, as well as four Israeli and three Lebanese reporters, have been killed since Hamas’s October 7 attack triggered the war in Gaza and an escalation in fighting along Israel’s border with Lebanon amid attacks by the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.

Israel denies targeting journalists and says it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians, blaming the high death toll on the fact that Hamas fights in densely populated urban areas and embeds itself deliberately among civilians who are used as human shields.

The International Criminal Court confirmed Tuesday that it is investigating potential crimes against journalists since the outbreak of the war.

Media advocacy group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in November that it had filed a complaint with the Hague-based ICC alleging war crimes over the deaths of journalists trying to cover the conflict.

“The office of prosecutor Karim Khan has assured the organization that crimes against journalists are included in its investigation into Palestine,” the organization announced on Monday.

The court confirmed the statement, saying: “The ICC Office of the Prosecutor’s investigation into the situation in the State of Palestine concerns crimes committed within the Court’s jurisdiction since 13 June 2014.”

Israel has fiercely condemned that investigation, noting the significance of the timing of the investigation’s span. On June 12, 2014, Hamas terrorists kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. The investigation is set to focus on events beginning from the following day.

#1 "These guys posing as journalists were obviously in the fray; so what's the question?"

"Whether it was Al Jazeera or BBC."

#3 "Whether it was Al Jazeera or BBC."

A distinction without a difference nowadays.
