A report by The Wall Street Journal has revealed that a wealthy and prominent Gaza family, including 73-year-old physician Ahmad Al-Jamal and his journalist son Abdullah, held three Israelis hostage in their apartment for months on behalf of Hamas. This family, previously considered civilians, were actively participating in terrorist activities in Gaza. The story sheds light on the dual lives led by some individuals in Gaza, who by day are professionals and by night engage in kidnapping and other forms of terrorism. These activities were particularly highlighted following events in October.
Imagine going about your day to day life as a journalist, all while holding individuals hostage in your family home. That's precisely what Gazan "journalist" Abdallah Aljamal did, but he's not the only civilian responsible for harming innocent Israelis on and following October… https://t.co/C0EiK3MEDs
