Proof of Slain Al Jazeera Journalist's Ties to Terror
(New York Sun) Novi Zhukovsky and Jotam Confino - Al Jazeera senior journalist Anas al-Sharif, targeted Sunday in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City, "was a terrorist who headed a Hamas cell guiding rocket attacks at Israeli civilians, given journalistic cover by Qatari-funded Al Jazeera," Hillel Neuer, director of UN Watch, said Monday. "Not one single media outlet has mentioned the ample open-source evidence...showing Anas al-Sharif is anything but a journalist. Pictured with Hamas leaders? Showering praise on the murderers and rapists of October 7th? Nah, not relevant," said investigative journalist Eitan Fischberger on X. Fischberger attached screenshots from al-Sharif's Telegram page that put on display his full-fledged support for Hamas's terror attacks and his personal relationships with Hamas members. One post from Oct. 7 reads: "9 hours and the heroes are still roaming the country killing and capturing....God, God, how great you are." The IDF said published documents in October "prove he was a Hamas operative integrated into Al Jazeera." The documents include rosters, terrorist training lists, and salary records. The IDF identifies al-Sharif as a member of Hamas's East Jabaliya Battalion who enlisted in 2013.
