The IDF publishes a 2021 Hamas document obtained from the Gaza Strip which it says proves that Al Jazeera reporter Ismail Alghoul was a member of the terror group.
Alghoul was killed in an IDF drone strike in Gaza City on Wednesday, alongside Al Jazeera cameraman Ramy El-Rify.
The IDF said that Alghoul participated in the October 7 onslaught as a member of the terror group’s elite Nukhba force, and was later involved in instructing terror operatives on how to film and distribute videos of attacks on Israeli troops.
The document, which the IDF says was obtained from Hamas computers seized in the Gaza Strip, included the details of thousands of operatives in the terror group’s military wing.
According to the document, from 2021, Alghoul was an engineer in Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade, the IDF says.
“Despite the false attempts by Hamas and Al Jazeera to present Alghoul as a journalist, Alghoul was an active terrorist in the Hamas terror organization,” the military adds.
