The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.

The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.

Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.

    Everyone is a Hamas operative. Journalists, babies… hell, I live in Indiana and I’m probably a Hamas operative.

      Everyone is a Hamas operative.

      We’re also Russian operatives when we criticize the Democrats.

        Because everything is about American politics, especially what happens when Israel accuses an Al Jazeera journalist of being a Hamas operative. That’s 100% about America.

          Nope.

          It’s about Hamas using journalists, an impartial personnel, as war militants.

      Hamas war strategy is to disguise themselves as civilians, impartial personnel, doctors, etc. and blend in these civilian areas.

      So statistically, yes, you can probably be a Hamas operative. In your case, I hope, is a low chance.
