    On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.<\/span><\/p>\n

    AP: Photojournalists or Infiltrators?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Four names appear on AP\u2019s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN<\/a>, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank<\/a>, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.<\/span><\/p>\n

    HonestReporting has obtained screenshots of Eslaiah\u2019s now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: \u201cLive from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    UPDATE: <\/strong>Shortly after the publication of this article, we were alerted to footage of Hassan Eslaiah next to the Israeli tank. In addition, a photo has surfaced showing Eslaiah with Hamas leader and mastermind of the October 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar.<\/span><\/p>\n
