"In a joint IDF and ISA operation, the Israeli Air Force on Thursday struck and eliminated Ismail al-Ghoul, a Hamas Military Wing operative and Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7th massacre, the IDF spokesperson said on Thursday evening.
As part of his role in the military wing, Al-Ghoul instructed other operatives on how to record operations and was actively involved in recording and publicizing attacks against IDF troops. His activities in the field were a vital part of Hamas' military activity. "
The reporters were killed when their car was hit on Wednesday in the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, according to initial information.
“Ismail was conveying the suffering of the displaced Palestinians and the suffering of the wounded and the massacres committed by the [Israeli] occupation against the innocent people in Gaza,” he said.
“The feeling – no words can describe what happened.”
Ismail and Rami were wearing media vests and there were identifying signs on their car when they were attacked.
They had last contacted their news desk 15 minutes before the strike.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Completely mortifying. The IDF has taken responsibility for the assassination of Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul, slandering him as a Hamas operative, and saying that his "recording and publicizing attacks against IDF troops" meant he deserved to be murdered.

If you are operating as a journalist in Gaza, outside of the strict supervision of the IDF who tell you where to go and what to film, you are a target for murder by Israel, openly and unabashedly. They are saying this explicitly. The documentation of the war is a crime to them.

Are these actual journos or hostage keepers and terrorists who hide behind their press credentials?

Israel has murdered 176 journalists in 10 months.
Many Journalists around the world have stayed silent, or worse chose to actively use their position to defend the indefensible
This is appalling! How can this be allowed to happen?

Given the failure of ceasefire negotiations, it was a given that Israel would attempt to and eventually succeed at assassinating one of Hama’s leaders.
This was the lie they chose to stick with after going through all other lie possibilities. End all support to israel immediately.
that's literally the job of a journalist to publish all those images, essentially what they're saying is if you're a journalist and publish something they don't like you're a target
