As reported in a post on X by Yuval Abraham, a journalist and filmmaker from Jerusalem who writes for +972 Magazine, in the aftermath of the Oct 7 attack, a faction called the “Legitimisation Cell” was established within AMAN, the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate, The role of the Agents working within this shadowy faction is to gather evidence to validate the military’s actions in Gaza, which includes unsuccessful Hamas missile launches, the use of human shields, and the exploitation of civilians. According to Yuval, one of the primary goals of the ‘Legitimisation Cell’ is to pinpoint Gazan journalists who could be portrayed in the media as Hamas operatives in disguise. The ‘Cell’ painstakingly examined the profiles of journalists and carried out extensive searches, Yuval explains. Although this cell invested countless hours in this endeavour, they ultimately found nothing, noted Yuval.
From his perspective, the Jerusalem-based journalist argues that this approach is intended to provide media ‘legitimisation’ for the ongoing killings of journalists, which suggests that Israel’s strategy of sowing doubt is a way to justify atrocities. In other words, labelling a journalist as a ‘Hamas’ operative in disguise effectively distracts from the murder of countless other journalists,” Yuval concludes.
