An Al Jazeera reporter who was killed in an airstrike this week was allegedly a terrorist who participated in Hamas‘ October 7 massacre last year.
Ismail Al-Ghoul and his cameraman were killed in an airstrike while in a car in the al Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to CNN.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Securities Authority (ISA) said in a statement that in a joint operation, the Israel Air Force (IAF) “eliminated Ismail al-Ghoul, a Hamas Military Wing operative and Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre.”
“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,” the statement said. “His activities in the field were a vital part of Hamas’ military activity. The IDF and ISA are operating in order to eliminate terrorists who participated in the October 7th Massacre and will continue to do so.”

CNN said that Al-Ghoul has reported live for most of the day from a location near the home of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed this week inside Iran.
Haniyeh — who celebrated his organization’s unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on October 7 and who had publicly called for more attacks — was killed by bomb that was covertly smuggled into a guesthouse where he was staying two months before he got there.
The guesthouse was part of a large compound run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in an upscale neighborhood inside’s Iran’s capital city of Tehran.
