IDF Uncovers Documents Showing Six Al Jazeera Journalists Are Hamas, Islamic Jihad Terrorists

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), on Wednesday, released documents showing six Al Jazeera journalists are members of terrorist groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

The terrorists were identified based on the documents uncovered in Gaza. “The IDF says it has uncovered documents in the Gaza Strip it claims reveal that six Al Jazeera journalists are operatives in the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups,” The Times of Israel reported. “The journalists are named by the IDF as Anas al-Sharif, Alaa Salameh, Hossam Shabat, Ashraf al-Sarraj, Ismail Abu Omar, and Talal al-Arrouqi.”

Some of these Al Jazeera staffers, who enjoyed protection in the Gaza conflict zones due to their press credentials, hold senior positions in Palestinian terrorist organizations. They are operatives in Hamas’s Nukhba Force and Nuseirat Battalion terrorist formations, which spearheaded the October 7 massacre, Israeli media reports confirm.

The uncovered “documents include personnel tables, lists of terrorist training courses, phone directories, and salary documents for terrorists. These provide unequivocal proof that these individuals serve as military operatives for the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip,” the Israeli military said in a press statement Wednesday.

“The documents once again confirm his involvement in terrorist activities,” the IDF noted. “The Al Jazeera network has attempted to disassociate itself from Omar’s terror activities.”

The Jerusalem Post reported the details of the damning exposure.

The IDF announced on Wednesday that six journalists actively working for Al Jazeera were members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

The IDF says that due to intelligence recovered from the Gaza Strip during military operations, they can reveal that Anas Al-Sharif, Ala’ Salama, Hossam Shbat, Ashraf Al-Sarraj, Ismail Abu Amr and Talal Al-Aruki are all affiliated with the military wings of either Hamas or PIJ.

Ismail Abu Amr was injured several months ago in Gaza by an IDF attack; during that period, Al Jazeera denied his membership in Hamas. Documents recovered by the IDF showed this was untrue. (…)

The IDF also said that these documents prove Al Jazeera has employed them simultaneously.

The exposed journalists are part of Hamas’s military wing operating as the vanguard of Hamas’s propaganda war against Israel.

The revelation comes weeks after Israeli security services raided the West Bank offices of the Qatari broadcaster and took documents into their possession. “Al Jazeera reported that the IDF confiscated equipment and documents from the offices,” the Israeli news website YNET wrote on September 22. “The building’s surroundings were declared a closed military zone, and trucks were brought in to remove the confiscated items.”

In May, the Israeli government took the Qatari channel off the air, citing its links to Palestinian terrorism. Prime Minister Netanyahu called Al Jazeera a “terror channel”. “Al Jazeera harmed Israel’s security, actively participated in the Oct. 7 massacre, and incited against Israeli soldiers,” the Israeli prime minister said in late March.

IDF releases more proof showing Hezbollah terror chest buried beneath Beirut Hospital

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released more intelligence showing that Lebanon’s Al Sahel Hospital is built above a bunker storing millions in Hezbollah cash and gold.

The entrance to Nasrallah’s secret bunker is located within the hospital compound, the Israeli military confirmed Wednesday. “The entrance is located in the eastern building of the two situated north of the hospital,” IDF’s International Spokesperson, Lt. Colonel Nadav Shoshani, said in a statement on X. “[B]ased on intelligence information, the entrance to the bunker, which holds half a billion dollars in cash and gold, is in this building on the eastern side of the underground level.”

Whoever was unable to reach Nasrallah’s secret bunker can try again now on the press tour organized by the Al-Sahel Center at the northern entrance to the building. The entrance is located in the eastern building of the two situated north of the hospital.

“Hezbollah prevented reporters from entering the building with the southern entrance shaft,” IDF spokesman Shoshani added. “Hezbollah doesn’t want you to find the money, so they are likely blocking and hiding the entrance to the bunker in various ways, possibly by building walls to obscure the entrances to the bunker, which holds half a billion dollars in gold and cash.”

The Jerusalem Post reported Tuesday, quoting Israeli TV channel N12, stating that the bunker “serves as Hezbollah’s central money warehouse, where the vast majority of the organization’s money stolen from Lebanese citizens and used for terrorism is hidden.”

The IDF vowed not to strike the hospital on humanitarian grounds despite Hezbollah’s terror chest buried underneath.

Israel confirms elimination of Hezbollah’s presumed next leader Hashem Safieddine

The Israeli military on Tuesday confirmed the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah’s likely successor, Hashem Safieddine, in a recent airstrike on Beirut’s Hezbollah stronghold. Dozens of senior Hezbollah commanders and operatives were also killed in the strike on the terror bunker, the IDF said.

The mainstream media widely regarded the 60-year-old terrorist as a ‘potential successor’ to Hezbollah chief Nasrallah after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike over a month days ago.

The Times of Israel reported:

The IDF on Tuesday announced that top Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut earlier this month.

Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah’s executive council, was presumed to be the successor of Hassan Nasrallah following his assassination in late September.

According to the military, Safieddine was killed alongside the head of the Lebanese terror group’s intelligence division, Hussein Ali Hazima, during the strike on October 4.

The strike had targeted Hezbollah’s underground intelligence headquarters in Beirut, which the army says was “in the heart of a civilian population” in the Lebanese capital’s southern suburb, known as Dahiyeh.

The IDF says that more than 25 members of Hezbollah’s intelligence division were at the headquarters when the strike was carried out, including other top commanders.

IDF continues strikes on Hezbollah terror stronghold of Dahieh

The Israeli Air Forces (IAF) continued strikes on the main Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh in the south of Beirut.

“Overnight, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on several weapons storage, manufacturing facilities and command centers belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization which were located within civilian infrastructure in the area of Dahieh, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut,” the IDF said Tuesday.

The latest round of strikes are “part of the efforts to damage Hezbollah’s weapons storage and manufacturing facilities that are embedded beneath residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut, endangering the population in the area,” the Israeli military added.

After issuing evacuation warnings, the IDF says it carried out strikes against several Hezbollah command rooms in southern Lebanon's Tyre.

While Hezbollah has embedded its terrorist infrastructure and fighters deep inside residential neighborhoods of Southern Lebanon, the IDF is undertaking painstaking efforts to avoid civilian casualties. This often comes at the cost of foregoing the element of surprise, giving terrorists time to relocate ahead of the strike.

The Israeli armed forces took “numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including issuing advancing warnings to the population in the area,” the IDF said Wednesday.
