The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released information identifying ten Gaza residents, previously presented by some media outlets as journalists, as operatives of terrorist organizations. According to the IDF's press service, the majority of these individuals were linked to the military wings of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, with some having participated in the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
The IDF plans to publish details on additional deceased "media employees" in Gaza who, based on military intelligence, were simultaneously members of terrorist groups. To facilitate this, the IDF has launched a dedicated English-language microsite called "The Press Files."
This website will feature the names of those killed, information about their roles within terrorist organizations, their positions, and intelligence materials, documents, and photographs that the army deems suitable for public disclosure. The IDF stated that the publication aims to expose instances where media affiliation was used to conceal involvement in armed groups.
The military has pledged to continue updating the database with new materials.
