Revealed: Documents prove October 7 photographer was Hamas operative

The JC has been given documents proving that the Palestinian photographer Hassan Aslih, who infiltrated into Israel to document October 7, was a Hamas operative.

Aslih, who was killed during a strike on a Hamas command centre in Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza last week, is named in a Hamas military document obtained by the IDF and passed to this newspaper.

The document lists members of the “Third battalion of the Khan Yunis Brigade”. Next to the full name of the photojournalist, Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohamed Aslih, appears his military identification number. The document also notes his media role.

Reporting the death of Aslih on May 13, the BBC described him as “a well-known Palestinian photojournalist” who was “targeted in what witnesses described as a drone attack”.
