Saleh Al-Jafarawi
12 Oct 2025
Incitement #79🚨Two months ago, Martyr Saleh al-Jaafarawi revealed that the Israeli occupation was openly threatening him, with Avichay Adraee and other Israeli media figures repeatedly naming him as a target. He said life is lived only once, either with one’s head held high, broadcasting the truth through sound and image, or in fear, silenced to serve the occupier’s will. “We will not kneel to them, God willing,” he vowed, a promise he upheld until his final breath. Today, Saleh was murdered in Gaza City by collaborator gangs working with the Israeli occupation.

Incitement #48🎯STRUCK: Hamas terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as an Al Jazeera journalist Al-Sharif was the head of a Hamas terrorist cell and advanced rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and IDF troops. Intelligence and documents from Gaza, including rosters, terrorist training lists and salary records, prove he was a Hamas operative integrated into Al Jazeera. A press badge isn’t a shield for terrorism.

Incitement #15The IDF and ISA struck the Hamas terrorist Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Aslih in the Khan Yunis area overnight. Asilh, who operates under the guise of a journalist and owns a press company, is a terrorist operative in Hamas' Khan Yunis Brigade. On October 7, he infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in Hamas’ murderous massacre. Asilh documented and uploaded footage of looting, arson and murder to social media. Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence. We will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.

Incitement #14EXPOSED: 6 Al Jazeera journalists have been exposed as Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. The IDF has disclosed intelligence information and numerous documents found in Gaza confirming military affiliation of six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations, including personnel tables, lists of terrorist training courses, phone directories, and salary documents for terrorists. These documents serve as proof of the integration of Hamas terrorists within the Qatari Al Jazeera media network. Most of the journalists that the IDF has exposed as operatives in Hamas' military wing spearhead the propaganda for Hamas at Al Jazeera, especially in northern Gaza.
