The same article refers to Jenin's "heroic resistance" and hails how the city "continues to confront the occupation and storm it with bullets."
Here are some more pictures of the "martyrs."
And another...
One more:
But Quds News isn't telling its readers that Hamas has admitted the four took part in "heroic armed clashes", nor the fact that it described their city as "storming [Israel] with bullets".
And it certainly isn't showing any of those pictures.
This is important because Quds News is seen by leading anti-Israel smear activists such as Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada.
Abunimah shared the Quds News tweet not once, but twice.
It's also been shared by academics and policy analysts influential in anti-Israel circles, such as Dr. Yara Hawari, of Al-Shabaka.
And here's another academic, this time in America, Shabana Mir.
So the half-truth has gone from Hamas-affiliated media outlet to anti-Israel activists, Palestinian academics and now to Muslim American academics.
This is how the Hamas narrative reaches American audiences.
Update: And this video of one of the four also came to light yesterday.

You’ve seen it before.
A bombed-out building.
A pile of rubble.
And there, impossibly intact, a teddy bear.
Let’s talk about one of the most emotionally powerful, and misleading, images used in war coverage.
2/ The teddy bear in the rubble sends a clear message: a child died here. It’s powerful, emotional, and widely used. But when the same bear keeps appearing in different scenes, taken by different photographers, it raises questions.
📸 Rafah, Jan 21. Same toy, multiple photos.

.@Independent "takes a closer look at the history of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and why it is controversial."
So let's take a closer look at how The Independent evidently finds the concept of Jews defending themselves against terrorists to be "controversial." 🧵
@Independent No mention of how the newly formed IDF fought to defend the nascent Jewish state against 5 Arab armies intent on wiping it out.
Just a hyperbolic claim that "hundreds of thousands of people were driven...into refugee camps."
@Independent The IDF "claims" to be facing terrorist organizations?
Just who does @Independent believe threatens Israelis? Or did October 7 simply not happen?
Israel struck Iran preemptively.
Was it legal under international law? Here's what the rules actually say 👇
International law doesn’t ban preemptive strikes, but it does make them hard to justify.
They must be a response to a real, immediate threat, not a guess or grudge.
The standard? A 19th-century case called the Caroline Affair.
It's still the gold standard for when preemptive force is legal.
Modern military lawyers use it like a checklist, and it’s hard to pass.
How the media manufactured a “genocide.”
Zach Goldberg breaks down how the world’s most serious crime became a political weapon—and how media outlets helped it happen. 🧵
Mentions of “genocide” in relation to Israel have exploded—far beyond how the media treated actual, recognized genocides in history.
In The New York Times, coverage linking Israel and genocide was:
➤ 9x higher than for Rwanda
➤ 6x higher than for Darfur
Let that sink in.
