Journalist footage gave rise to a new theory of attacks on Israel on October 7 - Newsweek (photo, video)
The publication of HonestReporting, which states its goal as "exposing anti-Israeli bias in the media," states that the frilanter photographer Hassan Eslaya was one of the first to shoot the footage during October 7, he taught his pictures with Hamas representatives. The emergence of such material was angered by some persons who resorted to the question that the news agencies with whom Eslaya worked could be known in advance about plans for the attack of fighters.
Eslaya has cooperated with several news agencies in the United States: Associated Press, Reuters and CNN. But there was no significant evidence that news agencies were aware of the planned attacks in advance. After reporting to the media, several organizations terminated their cooperation with the photographer. In one of the photos posted by HonestReporting, photographer Eslaya is depicted next to the leader Hamas Yakhi Sinwar. In another picture - it stands in front of an Israeli tank.
But there are no confirmations of authenticity of these personnel. The publication of the Prosrael news organization also states that the three other reporters may be related to Hamas, mention how close to the fighting areas they were filming. The Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhah has already published a statement in which the media cooperation with the photographer Eslai is condemned.
It is reported that the country's authorities are all serious about how photojournalists cover the brutal murder committed by Hamas terrorists on Saturday 7 October in settlements near the Gaza Sector. "These journalists were accomplices of crimes against humanity; their actions diverge with professional ethics," - said in a statement of the Israeli department.
And other Israeli representatives were in a hurry to accuse such Western news agencies as AP, CNN, NYT and Reuters, that they were "built into" into the Hamas structure and were accompanied by terrorists during attacks in Israel. The Associated Press deny that they were aware of the preparation of attacks. Prescribe stated that the first photos were taken more than an hour after the attacks.
"AP employees were not on the border during attacks, none of the employees crossed the border during the attacks. We no longer cooperate with Hasan Est, who was a temporary freelancer AP and other international news organizations in Gas," the agency said. CNN stated that on October 7, the photographer did not make any materials for them, and that they would not cooperate with him. Recall that, according to Reuters, the Hosbollah group is the Russian missiles "Yakhont", which can attack US ships.
