Zionist entity admits knowingly targeting Palestinian journalists

The Zionist occupation army acknowledged targeting the car of journalist Hamza (son of Wael Al-Dahdouh, director of Al-Jazeera’s Gaza bureau) and his colleague Mustafa Thuraya in Gaza last Sunday, while they were carrying out a journalistic mission in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, calling them “racist terrorists”.

The occupying army claimed yesterday Wednesday that these two journalists were flying drones in a way that posed a menace to Israeli forces.

The IDF stated it was “confirming” the type of drone and the nature of the threat posed by these two journalists.

The Zionist military also claimed that Al-Dahdouh Jr. was a member of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement and that Thuraya was a member of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), claiming to have “found Gaza battlefield documents” revealing the organizational structures of the Palestinian factions, and the names of these two journalists were mentioned there.

According to the occupation, “documents indicate that Al-Dahdouh previously served as deputy commander of the Islamic Jihad Ezzaytoun Brigade faction and currently serves as regional manager in the missile unit of this movement”.
