As suspected, the IDF’s claim that it struck an Islamic Jihad cell disguised as a PRESS vehicle seems accurate.
Of the 5 Facebook profiles of the five “journalists” killed, only Ayman al-Jadi and Faisel al-Qumsan contain more than a few photos or posts. So let's dive in 🧵
First, a reminder: The “journalists” worked for the Al Quds Today network, which even CNN acknowledges is affiliated with Islamic Jihad.
So already, there were members of a US-designated terrorist organization.
Now, as for the individuals themselves: Here is what Faisel posted 2 days before the October 7th massacre.
Let’s have a closer look, shall we?
Faisel likes to indoctrinate children into a life of terrorism, because “journalism”
Faisel thinks Islamic Jihad leader and suicide-bombing enthusiast Khader Adnan is a “great leader”
Ayman, for his part, posted this on October 7th. It reads:
"For the first time in history... Palestinian factions storm the settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip to liberate it.”
And this:
And he posted this lovely reel as well.
Like so many of the so-called journalists killed in Gaza since October 7th, Faisel and Ayman—and likely the other three who were with them—are anything but.
Breaking: I've uncovered a series of posts in which @majedalansari — advisor to the Qatari PM and Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry — openly called for Tel Aviv to burn and praised suicide bombings.
This was posted on the night terrorists fired +100 rockets into Istael🧵
In one blog post, Al-Ansari praised the Second Intifada — the 2000-2005 Palestinian terror campaign — against the “Zionist enemy” and its “martyrdom operations,” a euphemism for terrorist attacks. He credited the intifada with leading Israel to pull out of Gaza in 2005.
On what appears to be his Facebook post, al-Ansari repeatedly called then-presidential candidate Trump a racist
Phenomenal reporting by @DailyMail: Undercover journalists checked into the Marriott’s Renaissance Cairo Mirage City and photographed Palestinian terrorists who've been housed there.
Unsuspecting families can still book rooms at the hotel. So who did they see at the hotel?🧵
But first:
The Daily Mail understands that the convicted terrorists will apply for local visas and residence permits to be able to melt back into society, although they will be monitored by local security services.
A former Israeli intelligence officer known as Guy C added: ‘There are no restrictions on their movements in these countries.
‘They can walk freely, travel to Europe – even the UK – receive donations from naive supporters, and gain backing from protestors who already sympathise with them.
Those staying at the resort include Mahmoud Issa, 57, who founded Special Unit 101 of the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, a Hamas special forces unit in Hamas which specialises in kidnappings
This is Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, a senior fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
If I told you Abdulkhaleq loved dead Jews, would you believe me? 🧵
Abdulkhaleq holds a PhD from Georgetown, where he was also a Fulbright Scholar and visiting professor at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. He occasionally teaches at Qatar University.
I noticed him when I read his piece in The Hill yesterday.
Abdulkhaleq loves dead Jews.
On October 7th, he wrote that the mass slaughter of 1200 people was a "legitimate right" and that the perpetrators were "heroes of the resistance."
