The IDF killed a Hamas terrorist who had been doubling as a photojournalist for Qatari state-funded broadcaster Al Jazeera<\/a>, the military announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The terrorist, Ahmed Samir Muhammad Washah, served as a sniper operative in Hamas<\/a>‘ military wing, the IDF said.<\/p>\n

He, along with two other Hamas terrorists, was killed in an Israeli strike in the center of the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

“In recent months, he advanced sniper attack plans and additional terrorist activities against IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip,” the military stated as reason for him being targeted.<\/p>\n

Washah’s brother, the IDF stated, had also been a Hamas terrorist who had posed as an Al Jazeera journalist, and had been killed by Israeli forces in April. Muhammad Samir Muhammad Washah had worked in Hamas<\/a>‘ rocket and weapons production headquarters.<\/p>\n

When he was killed, the military said that Washah’s brother was involved in the development of drones, rockets, and other weapons, and also played a role in transferring arms across Gaza<\/a>\u00a0throughout the war.<\/p>\n

The statement added that Washah contributed to Hamas\u2019s force build-up and was directly involved in planning attacks, posing what the military described as a \u201cconcrete threat\u201d to troops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The IDF killed a Hamas terrorist who had been doubling as a photojournalist for Qatari state-funded broadcaster Al…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[16142,69,51,42,1031,43,231400,2896,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-503421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-al-jazeera","tag-gaza-strip","tag-hamas","tag-headlines","tag-idf","tag-news","tag-sniper-gaza","tag-terrorist","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
