The IDF issued a statement regarding the death of an “Al Jazeera journalist” Anas Jamal al-Sharif, saying: “the military had previously uncovered intelligence and numerous documents found in the Gaza Strip confirming his military affiliation with the Hamas terrorist organization. The documents once again confirm his terrorist activity, which the Al Jazeera network tried to disavow.”
Al-Sharif was the head of a Hamas terror cell planning rocket attacks against Israel.
Adraee wrote on his X account, about the photo of al-Sharif and Sinwar: “As we said from the start, and others refused to believe, only a terrorist sits with terrorists. Anas al-Sharif was not a journalist but a Hamas terrorist.”
