After Al Jazeera accused Israel of assassinating its journalists, Israel has countered with claims the Islamist news activist site employs and supports terrorists, not journalists, to “cover” the war while helping Hamas target Israelis for death.
One of the targeted “journalists” was Ismail Abu Omar, who is also suspected of taking part in the October 7 terror assault, including participating in the slaughter of Israelis at the Kibbutz Nir Oz.
More Evidence Emerges Linking Al Jazeera to Terrorists in Gaza – www.breitbart.com
Excerpt:
Evidence continues to emerge linking Al Jazeera journalists to terrorists in Gaza, as pressure grows within Israel to bar the Qatar-based network from the country for airing enemy propaganda.
On Tuesday, Al Jazeera issued a statement accusing Israel of deliberately targeting two of its journalists with a drone strike — referring to “Israeli occupation forces,” the preferred terminology of anti-Israel activists and terrorists:
Today, Tuesday, February 13, 2024, Israeli occupation forces targeted the Al Jazeera crew in the Mirage area, north of Rafah, by a drone, seriously injuring Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Ismail Abu Omar, which led to the amputation of his leg and the serious injury of photojournalist Ahmed Matar.
Al Jazeera Media Network confirms that targeting of the reporter Ismail and the photographer Ahmed is a full-fledged crime added to Israel’s crimes against journalists, and a new part in the series of the deliberate targeting of Al Jazeera’s journalists and correspondents in Palestine.
The Times of Israel noted that Ismail Abu Omar has been suspected of accompanying Hamas terrorists in their brutal attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz, during which a quarter of the residents were murdered or abducted.
