In the past three years since the October 7 Massacre, the IDF has been operating against terror on many fronts, including Gaza, to ensure Israeli civilians’ safety. However, beyond the physical battlefield lies an additional front: the battle for public opinion.

Time and time again throughout the war, various media outlets and organizations within the international community condemned the deaths of journalists, accusing the IDF of deliberately targeting them in an effort to silence their voices. These accusations were frequently made without any evidence or concrete findings substantiating them.

However, the evidence was extremely accessible. The terrorist organizations themselves published material exposing many of these ‘journalists’ after their deaths as operatives within their ranks.

After an extensive IDF intelligence research effort, it can now be revealed that at least 170 ‘journalists’ and media personnel who were killed during the war in Gaza were, in practice, members of the military wings of Hamas, the Islamic Jihad (PIJ), ‘Lords of the Desert’ and the ‘Resistance Committees’.

What the Intelligence Material Reveals

The exposed terrorists worked for various media outlets, local and international. Part of them worked for well-established and respected outlets such as:

• Reuters
• CNN
• ABC Australia
• The BBC
• Le Monde
• AFP 

Some of the intelligence collected is now available to the public to prove once and for all: The IDF targets terrorists, not civilians or professionals protected under international law. This material includes visual materials and documents produced by the terrorist organizations themselves, revealing their organizational affiliations and the roles they held.

This material illustrates the gap between the accepted narrative about Israel, which is reiterated time and time again in news outlets and online, and the true story. The evidence is finally out, now it is up to the world to catch up.
