VIDEO: Fox News Accuses Israel of Killing ‘Two Palestinian Journalists.’ Both Have Terror Affiliations.

2

From the Washington Free Beacon: Fox News reporter Trey Yingst took to the airwaves to accuse Israel of killing “two Palestinian journalists, Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat.” Mansour worked for the terror organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s media network, Filastin Al-Youm, while Israeli intelligence released months ago showing that Shabat served as a sniper in a Hamas battalion, none of which Yingst disclosed.

Yingst, Fox’s chief foreign correspondent, leveled the charge during a Monday morning appearance on America’s Newsroom. He referenced “new developments out of Gaza today, where two Palestinian journalists, Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat, were killed by the Israelis.”

“Last year, 124 journalists were killed around the world, two-thirds of them in Gaza,” Yingst concluded. “More to come, unfortunately,” host Bill Hemmer responded.

Doubling down, Yingst posted a photo and wrote, “Palestinian journalist Mohammed Mansour was killed today in Gaza. Journalists must be protected amid war.”

The Times of Gaza also reported, “Two journalists have been killed today in Gaza; Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat.”

However, the Free Beacon shared extensive details revealing that the two Palestinian “journalists” Yingst was lamenting over were actually closely affiliated with the Hamas terror group. Below are critical excerpts:

Shabat’s Hamas affiliations have long been known. In September, Egyptian-British researcher Khaled Hassan unearthed Shabat’s social media posts from Oct. 7, 2023. In them, Shabat shared celebratory captions and emojis alongside photos of Hamas terrorists infiltrating Israel and returning to Gaza. “All of Beit Hanon is at the garage, receiving the kidnapped soldiers,” he wrote in one message, referencing the Israeli hostages that included a 9-month-old baby. “The heroes are in Beit Hanon,” he wrote alongside a photo of the returning terrorists.

One month later, Israel released declassified intelligence that originated from documents discovered in the Gaza Strip during military operations. The documents revealed that six Al Jazeera journalists, including Shabat, were actually terrorists affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The intelligence included Arab-language documents that show terrorist training courses, salary records, and personnel tables. They listed Shabat as a sniper in Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion.

Mansour, for his part, worked for a news station, Filastin Al-Youm (or Palestine Today), that is part of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Israeli forces raided the station’s West Bank headquarters in 2016 and arrested its director, Farouk Alian. The station continued to broadcast from Gaza, where it worked to “incite the population, calling for terrorist attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens,” the Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, said in a statement at the time.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) pushed back over the sympathy being offered over the “journalists.” The IDF wrote:

Over 6 months ago, Hossam Basel Abdul Karim Shabat’s role within the Hamas terrorist organization was exposed by us here on @X. He carried out all of his actions under the cover of an @AlJazeera journalist. Yesterday, he was eliminated by the IDF.

Don’t let the press vest confuse you, Hossam was a terrorist. Here is a document published in October 2024 proving Hossam’s affiliation with Hamas:

Yingst is getting pounded on social media:

Podcast host Dave Rubin asked, “Trey, how do you define journalist? Can someone be in Hamas or participate in a terror attack and still be a journalist? Genuine question…”

Journalist Leeroy Johnson (Viral News NYC) wrote, “Do you have some mental health issues that you don’t know who this guy is?”

Earlier this month, Yingst paid tribute to the “brave” Palestinian journalists in Gaza during his speech at the Radio Television Digital News Association’s First Amendment Awards.

“They have risked and often given their lives to practice our craft,” Yingst said.
