Finally naming their war dead, Gazan terror groups admit slain journalists were fighters
Times of Israel ^ | Nurit Yohanan, Stav Levaton

On July 10, 2025, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, killing a man identified as Ahmed Abu Eisha. According to reports, Abu Eisha had been a journalist for Palestine Today, a television channel affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, citing a colleague, Abu Eisha was killed shortly after returning home from “covering events” at a hospital in Deir al-Balah.

Abu Eisha was “polite, calm, and kind; someone who avoided conflict,” wrote CPJ, quoting the colleague. It noted his hard work pursuing stories and his recent completion of a PhD in Arabic, including him in its tally of hundreds of journalists it alleges Israel has killed since October 7, 2023.

But there was more to the Gazan as well.

On June 1, the PIJ’s military wing announced that Abu Eisha had been a unit commander and operative in the organization’s “Central Information Unit” within its Central Brigade when he was killed. While no official description of the unit’s role was provided, it appears to have been involved in intelligence gathering and analysis.

Despite the publication of his position within Islamic Jihad, Abu Eisha remained featured in an online database by CPJ, a media advocacy group that records reported journalist deaths around the world.

However, the group in recent weeks has quietly removed eight other Palestinians from a list of media workers it alleges were killed by Israel after determining they had “participated in combat.”

except those embedded with the IDF, every working journalist inside of Gaza is a terrorist

why?

because Hamas will not allow non-pro-Hamas journalists work in Gaza, immediate execution is the order of the day

also coming to light the many many UNRWA “workers” who were Hamas. gradually the Truth will emerge. there is a similar situation in Lebanon with UNIFIL - where for years UN outposts turned blind eye to Hizbollah rearming, even flying its flag at outposts from time to time. supporters of a sovereign Lebanon need to be more vocal about who endangers them...

You gotta love these scum. One day they are bloody murderers, the next day they are...”polite, calm, and kind; someone who avoided conflict”.

Takiya works very well for these lying degenerates.

Some eon, in the future when the Islamic Arabs and Persians decide to join the human race, conflict will die down.

Maybe in another 1300 years?

Ever hear of Herbert Philbrick?

A TV series was loosely based on the life of Herbert Philbrick, a Boston advertising executive who infiltrated the U.S. Communist Party on behalf of the FBI in the 1940s and wrote a bestselling book on the topic, I Led Three Lives: Citizen, 'Communist', Counterspy (1952).

This is impossible because the FReeper Allahu Akhbar Chorus has repeatedly assured me that Israel is only aiming to murder innocent civilians.

Say it ain’t so!
