IDF: Records prove spokesman for Gaza Civil Defense is ‘active terrorist’ in Hamas; “Nu-uh,” lies he
|
[IsraelTimes] Documents show a request to transfer individuals working in civilian agencies to military duties, among them Mahmoud Basal, who is widely quoted in international media
The Israel Defense Forces published intelligence documents on Sunday, captured during operations in Gaza, that it said prove that the spokesperson for the Civil Defense Agency in the Strip is an “active terrorist” in Hamas and a member of the terror group’s military wing.
Mahmoud Basal “has served as a spokesperson for the Civil Defense for a long time and exploits his position to spread false and unverified information to international media outlets, falsely attributing war crimes to Israel and presenting distorted data,” the military said in a statement.
“This information has received media exposure worldwide and has severely distorted the reality on the ground,” the statement said.
The documents recovered by the IDF in Gaza show that Basal “is a terrorist in the Hamas terror group, and as part of his role, he serves the purposes of psychological warfare and propaganda,” according to the military.
The documents appeared to show Basal listed on a roster of operatives for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing.
The documents requested that the listed individuals, who it said were working in civilian agencies and as civilian staff at the time, be transferred to military duties, noting that their expertise is needed and that they will be assigned according to their specialties.
In a clip published by the IDF, Basal can be seen being interviewed on television and quoted by prominent media outlets like CNN, The Guardian and The Washington Post.
A Google search of Basal’s name shows that many major English-language media outlets have cited his statements when reporting on casualties in Gaza.
Gaza’s civil defense spokesman denies being a member of Hamas
[IsraelTimes] After the army accused the spokesman for Gaza’s civil defense of being a Hamas terrorist, Mahmoud Bassal denies the allegation.
Citing documents found during its forces’ Gaza offensive, the IDF said Bassal was “an active terrorist” in the group whose October 2023 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war. It issued copies of what it said were Hamas membership lists to the media. The military accused Bassal of serving Hamas’s objectives by spreading false and unverified information about its operations in Gaza.
“This is a false accusation,” Bassal tells AFP. “I do not work for any military organization,” he says, adding that the agency’s mission is guided by international law.
Beyond the IDF’s latest specific accusation against Bassal, all organizations operating in Gaza do so at the pleasure of Hamas since its 2007 violent takeover of the enclave.
📄EXPOSED: Mahmoud Bassal poses as a “Gaza Civil Spokesperson”. However, intelligence documents expose him as an active Hamas operative.
