Related: About this forumInside Hamas' propaganda machine: How Al Jazeera aided October 7 misinformation
Israel has obtained a series of internal documents exchanged between Hamas operatives in Gaza and producers at the Qatari news network Al Jazeera. The documents reveal Hamas' attempt to alter its narrative surrounding the October 7 attack and the mass killings committed by its terrorists against Israeli civilians.
A report published by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, part of the Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center, presents some of the materials seized by the IDF, the Shin Bet, and the IDF Intelligence Directorate. These documents expose direct communication between senior Hamas officials in Gaza and Al Jazeera producers.
Al Jazeeras role in Hamas narrative warfare
The report assesses that the broadcast of a recent Al Jazeera investigative program aimed to reinforce Hamas' narrative of "victory" following the ceasefire in Gaza and to justify the October 7 attack as a "legitimate military operation." The program also sought to cement the image of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a "warrior leader" who remained on the front lines until his death.

he report concludes that Al Jazeera played a crucial role in amplifying Hamas' strategic messaging, shaping public perception, and whitewashing Hamas war crimes under the guise of investigative journalism.
