The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday confirmed that three of the four hostages rescued in the recent raid were held at the house of a Gaza ‘journalist.’
Abdallah Aljamal, a Hamas terrorist, posed as a journalist and has written for several media outlets in the past, including Qatari state-owned Al Jazeera.
“Following the completion of [Israeli military and security agency Shin Bet] agency and ISA examinations of reports on the subject, it can be confirmed that Abdallah Aljamal was an operative in the Hamas terrorist organization, who held the hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv captive in his family home in Nuseirat,” the IDF disclosed Sunday.
“The hostages were held captive by Abdallah Aljamal and members of his family in their home,” the IDF statement added.

Just playing devil's advocate, and to be clear I hate Hamas.... but, it could/might be possible/probable that the journalist had guns held to his children's head if he didn't comply. Isn't that how Hamas operates?
Just trying to look at all possibilities. Anyway, the Israeli's will spin this for their benefit whatever the truth is.

"… the Israeli hostages were held and jailed by Palestinian civilians in a Palestinian civilian area, and as regrettable as any loss of life is, I think that we would have to investigate really who are the people who jailed these Israeli civilians for eight months? Why did they do it? What was the role of the surrounding community and the hundreds if not thousands of Palestinians who for sure were aware of the fact that these Israeli hostages were being held in their midst, and why were they complicit with Hamas?" he asked.

Is this some sadistic attempt by you to try and justify Israel killing more journalists in the last 6 months than in the last 40 years of conflict on the globe combined?
What with murders, contract killings, ambushes, war zone deaths and fatal injuries, a staggering total of 1,668 journalists have been killed worldwide in connection with their work in the last two decades (2003-2022), according to RSF’s tallies based above all on its annual round-ups. This gives an average of more than 80 journalists killed every year. The total killed since 2000 is 1,787.

I can hardly believe anything coming from idf. I still remember the time when they showed "october 7 attack plans" of hamas which was supposedly in a tunnel under a hospital but it turned out to be an arabic calender with personnel names of hospital written on it. They lost what little credibility they had a long time ago. They became such a joke I'm inclined to believe just about anything they say is a lie at this point.

Every time a hostage gets released the Palestinian sympathizers narrative and lies crumbles a little more.
