IDF: The IDF reveals: 170 of those killed during the war, who were presented to the world as innocent journalists, were also military operatives in terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip Following extensive research, the IDF now reveals that 170 Gazans who were presented as innocent journalists and media personnel were in fact military operatives in the military wings of various terrorist organizations, primarily Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. The IDF is now making public the 170 individuals and publishing verified evidence, including visual materials and documents produced by the terrorist organizations themselves and recovered by IDF troops during operations in Gaza exposing their terrorist affiliations and roles within terrorist organizations. Time and time again throughout the war, various media outlets in the international community accused the State of Israel and the IDF, without verified data or findings, of deliberately targeting journalists, even when, in some cases, the terrorist organizations themselves claimed those individuals as their own and identified them as military operatives. The information currently presented illustrates the gap between the picture portrayed to the world and the reality on the ground, and further demonstrates additional conclusive evidence that the IDF does not deliberately and systematically target journalists, but rather operates against terrorist organizations and their military operatives, in accordance with international law. For the purpose of exposing these cases, the IDF has established a dedicated website compiling the names and photographs of 170 military operatives, as well as their roles, terrorist affiliations, and additional evidence that can be disclosed regarding them.
