Hassan Eslaih, who was killed on October 7th in the IDF strike – Israel News

by

Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Eslaih, a journalist from Gaza, who documented Hamas on October 7, was killed against the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis on Monday, confirmed Hamas on Tuesday.

In April, IDF claimed to have killed Eslaih, a member of the Khan Yunis Brigade from Hamas, in a Khan Yunis strike.

Eslaih, who previously worked on both CNN and The Associated Press (AP) and owned a media company, took part on October 7 on October 7th.

The Iranian more news agency previously referred to Eslaiah as “Israel's nightmare” and said that he had been geared towards “tirelessly about the events of the Gaza Strip and the reflection on social media platforms”.

In 2024, a photo of the former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwa appeared, who kissed eslaih, and both news agencies who used Eslaih claimed to have released him immediately.

Shortly thereafter, the parents of five victims of the Nova Festival attack submitted a civil lawsuit for damage to AP and Reuters because they name photojournalists who were involved with terrorist organizations and Eslaiah in the lawsuit.

Lament against Eslaih

The parents of Mai, Naim, Lotan Abir, Guy Gabriel, Shalev Madmoni and Shani Louk submitted the complaint to the Jerusalem district court and applied for around 25 million NIS ($ 6.5 million).

In the lawsuit it was claimed that the journalists who submitted photos during the Hamas attacks in real time made them part of the attacks and therefore did not lead any legitimate journalistic work.

Neither AP Reuters also did not immediately answer an application for a statement on the lawsuit against her.

However, Reuters confirmed the Watchdog Honor connection, based in Jerusalem, that it had removed pictures from his database from several Gazan photo journalists for their connections to terrorist organizations, including Eslaih.

“When we informed about possible problems with certain content from a news organization at the Reuters Connect platform, we examined it and put it down because the material did not meet our partner content policy,” Reuters told honesty reports.

Eslaiah's photos were also used by Getty, Sky NewsAnd The New York Times.
