IDF says 170 Gaza journalists killed were terror operatives
Original: IDF: 170 alleged ‘journalists’ killed in Gaza were Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists
The Israeli military says 170 of the journalists killed in Gaza were actually members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, describing them as terrorists rather than press. The claim, reported by the Jerusalem Post, is likely to fuel ongoing disputes over casualty counts and the status of media workers in the Gaza war. Critics are expected to challenge the figures, while supporters see it as evidence of militants operating under press cover.
Why now: The IDF's claim directly disputes how killed media workers in Gaza are characterised, a highly contested issue in the war.
