The IDF announced on Thursday that it had identified ten individuals killed during the war in the Gaza Strip who were presented internationally as innocent journalists and media personnel, despite serving as operatives in terrorist organizations.

According to the military, extensive research established that the individuals held positions in the military wings of terrorist organizations, primarily Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Some of those identified also infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre.
