IDF Claims Al Jazeera Journalists in Gaza on Terrorists’ Payroll
Israeli military officials announced on Wednesday that documents recovered by their soldiers in Gaza suggest that six employees of Al Jazeera are allegedly operatives for the terrorist organizations Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The individuals named include journalists Anas al-Sharif, Talal Aruki, Ismail Farid, Alaa Salama, Ashraf Saraj, and Hosam Shabat.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the captured materials include personnel rosters, payroll registries, telephone directories, and training schedules that purportedly link these journalists to militant activities, reports Foreign Desk News. Notably, the IDF claims that Anas al-Sharif held the position of a commander in a rocket battery and was part of Hamas’s Nukhba Force. However, it remains unclear whether he was involved in the October 7 attacks in southern Israel, which were primarily executed by an elite detachment.
The IDF further accused the Al Jazeera employees of being involved in various military roles, including deployments in infantry formations, a propaganda unit, a sniper section, and a training company. They characterized these journalists as “spearheading” anti-Israel content through their coverage on the Arab-language television network.
In response, Al Jazeera strongly denied the allegations, stating that it “categorically rejects the Israeli occupation forces’ portrayal of our journalists as terrorists” and condemning what it called “fabricated evidence.” The network described the claims as “baseless” and reaffirmed its commitment to journalistic integrity.
Following the release of a Hamas propaganda video with footage of Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, 20, alive after over 420 days in captivity, as well as the IDF having confirmed the death of American-Israeli Captain Omer Neutra who was abducted during the October 7th attack, Trump is not mincing words.
United States President-elect Donald Trump declared Monday that there will be “hell to pay” if the hostages held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza are not freed before his inauguration on January 20. The message marked the first time since November’s election that the former chief executive commented on the situation facing captured Israeli citizens in the coastal enclave, reports Foreign Desk News.
Writing on his Truth Social account, the former president warned the captors, “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”
During the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, the invaders kidnapped 251 individuals after killing almost 1,200 civilians and responding security forces.
Following negotiations and rescue operations led by the Israeli military over the past year, authorities in Jerusalem estimate about 60 of the 95 remaining abductees are still alive, adds FDN.
