Israel officials accuse Gaza reporters of knowing about Hamas attack
Reuters, AP, CNN and the New York Times have denied any prior knowledge of the 7 October attack.
Weird projection. If they are going to assassinate people for knowing in advance they should start with their own ranks, since Egypt warned them days beforehand.
This is an excuse to arrest news reporters in Gaza so they can conduct genocide with nobody watching.
Egypt warned you, you fucker, do you really was gonna trust a bunch of reporters?

Shlomo Karhi told Reuters, AP, CNN and the New York Times that "individuals within your organization... had prior knowledge of these horrific actions".
Images filed by the photographers included a burning Israeli tank, Palestinians breaching a fence at the Kfar Aza kibbutz and scenes from the attack itself.
Benny Gantz, a member of Israel's war cabinet, has since said the photojournalists should be treated as terrorists if it is proven they knew in advance of the 7 October attacks.
"Journalists found to have known about the massacre, and [who] still chose to stand as idle bystanders while children were slaughtered, are no different than terrorists and should be treated as such," Mr Gantz, a former defence minister and opposition leader who joined the government after the attacks, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
An MP for the ruling Likud party, Danny Danon, said the journalists would be added to a list of people marked for assassination because of their participation in the attacks.
The agency said it was no longer working with one of the journalists, Hassan Eslaiah, who was shown in an earlier picture with Hamas Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar.
