The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed on Sunday that the hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv, who were rescued Saturday from Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip, were the ones held in the house of an Al-Jazeera “journalist” Abdullah Al-Jamal. Despite what was initially believed, the fourth hostage recued on Saturday, Noa Argamani, was not held by Al-Jamal. He was killed along with several family members while trying to hold on to the hostages when the raid began. Jamal was a writer for the Palestine Chronicle and apparently continued contributing articles to that portal even while he was holding the hostages captives. “Journalist” Abdallah Aljamal was a Hamas terrorist holding Almog, Andrey and Shlomi hostage in his family’s home in Nuseirat. No press vest can make him innocent of the crimes he has committed. @AlJazeera what’s this terrorist doing on your website?” the IDF wrote on X. READ MORE

FRONT PAGE MAG Denouncing Israel for Rescuing its Hostages From the United Nations to anti-Israel media outlets, Israel is blamed for the loss of Palestinian civilian lives during the rescue operation. Israel’s critics claim that the deaths could have been avoided if the Jewish state had only stuck to negotiating with Hamas and made more concessions to secure the release of the hostages. However, it was Hamas’ decision to seize the hostages in the first place and then imprison them in residential buildings and in tunnels constructed under civilian neighborhoods…The terrorists acted with callous indifference to the lives of the Palestinian people residing in the civilian neighborhood from which the four hostages had to be rescued. Moreover, many Palestinian civilians themselves are not so innocent. As Robert Spencer noted in his June 11^th Frontpage article, “it is clear that a good many of those ‘civilians’ played an active role in the holding of the hostages.”
