Will Qatar respond to this? Usually Israel maintains a figleaf of targeted killing of journalists being """accidental""" but this accusation is also an admission.

Kinda hard to try passing it off as an accident when they targeted his car

You would think so, that’s common sense after all, but that’s exactly what they did when they murdered the World Central Kitchen staff back in April. They don’t care how obvious the lie is, they never see consequences anyway.

Idc what the genocidal occupiers say. Did the babies they murder also participate in oct 7 now or that isn't retroactively changed.

That's some spectacularly failed Rorschach test. Everything is Hamas and all Hamas took part in oct 7.

I'm guessing all those humanitarian aid workers they murdered a few months back were also "Hamas commandos".

So basically if you're in the area, and you're not with the IDF, then you must be Hamas.

Noteworthy is that the IDF detained him in March for 12 hours, beat him up and then released him because he did nothing wrong.

Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul has been released after being arrested for 12 hours and severely beaten by Israeli forces in Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital.

Witnesses said the Al Jazeera reporter was dragged away by Israeli forces, who also destroyed the broadcasting vehicles of news crews at the medical facility. He has since been freed after 12 hours in Israeli custody.
