The IDF has released intelligence findings and several documents obtained in Gaza, which confirm that six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza have ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, both recognized as terrorist groups.

The journalists identified are: Anas Jamal Mahmoud Al-Sharif, Alaa Abdul Aziz Muhammad Salama, Hossam Basel Abdul Karim Shabat, Ashraf Sami Ashour Saraj, Ismail Farid Muhammad Abu Omar, and Talal Mahmoud Abdul Rahman Aruki.

One of these journalists, Ismail Farid Muhammad Abu Omar, sustained injuries a few months ago in Gaza. The newly surfaced documents reiterate his involvement in terrorist-related activities. Al Jazeera has since tried to distance itself from Omar’s terrorist connections.

The documents include rosters of personnel, records of terrorist training programs, contact lists, and payroll details for terrorists. According to the IDF, these materials provide indisputable evidence that these individuals are functioning as operatives for terrorist factions in Gaza.

“These documents serve as proof of the integration of Hamas terrorists within the Qatari Al Jazeera media network,” the IDF declared.

The IDF further pointed out that many of the journalists it has identified as members of Hamas’s military wing are instrumental in spreading Hamas propaganda through Al Jazeera, particularly in northern Gaza.
