AP torched for claiming they were unaware of Hamas intel operation in their building: 'Difficult to believe'

A 2014 Atlantic report claimed Hamas fighters regularly 'burst into the AP’s Gaza bureau and threaten the staff—and the AP wouldn’t report it'

The Associated Press came under fire Saturday for claiming to be unaware that they were sharing office space with Hamas militants in Gaza, dismissing the Israeli government's claim that the terror group was operating inside the media building that was destroyed in an airstrike over the weekend.

Multiple international media organizations were reportedly based in the Al-Jalaa tower, among them AP and Al Jazeera. Occupants were reportedly notified to evacuate an hour before the building was attacked by Israeli airstrikes in a retaliatory attack against the militant group.

The Israeli Defense Forces in a statement said that the high rise was targeted because it was being used by Hamas military intelligence. AP condemned Israel for the attack and claimed to have "no indication" that the U.S. designated terrorist organization operated from the building.

You’re hanging out in Gaza and you don’t know who your neighbors are in the building?

“Yes...and got their “stories” over lunch or coffee!”

AP has basically been near the bottom piece of fecal matter posing as news for over a decade for me.

Now, they/AP are lower than CNN!

Yes, the Israeli Air Force gets an A+ for their precise demoing/destruction of the Gaza/AP site.

What's unbelieveable is that BiBi hasn't dropped a nuke down the chimney of the joint.
