Israel's tone has changed already, no longer owning up to attacks and now calling the Journalists they bombed terrorists.
Israel denies bombing Gaza ambulance, killing medics
The Israeli military has denied it was behind the bombing of an ambulance in the central Gaza Strip that killed four medics and two other people.
“A review was conducted based on the details provided to the [Israeli military] which shows no strike was carried out in the described area,” the army said in a statement to AFP. The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said six people were killed on Wednesday in the strike on its ambulance at the entrance to the Deir el-Balah area of central Gaza, blaming it on Israel.

Israeli army accuses two journalists of being ‘terrorists’
The Israeli army says the son of Al Jazeera’s Wael Dahdouh, Hamza, and his colleague Mustafa Thurayya were “terrorists who committed terrorist acts against Israel”. Hamza, a producer with Al Jazeera Arabic, and Thurayya, a freelancer for AFP news agency, were killed on January 6 in an Israeli missile attack on their car in Rafah. A third journalist with them, Qusay Salem, was also killed.
In a series of posts on X, the Israeli army said Thurayya “served as an operative in the terrorist organisation Hamas in the Gaza City Division”. Hamza, it said, “served as an activist in a terrorist organisation”.
According to reports from Al Jazeera correspondents, Hamza and Mustafa’s vehicle was targeted as they were trying to interview civilians displaced by previous bombings.

At the time of the attack, the Israeli army said it was targeting a “terrorist” in the vehicle.
It confirmed in a statement that a military aircraft “identified and struck a terrorist who operated an aircraft that posed a threat to (Israeli) troops,” adding that “we are aware of the reports that during the strike, two other suspects who were in the same vehicle as the terrorist were also hit”.
However, when asked if Israel had any proof that a so-called terrorist was present in the car, army spokesperson Daniel Hagari described the incident to NBC as “unfortunate”, and said that an investigation was continuing to determine what happened.
Calling for an independent investigation into the strike, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said: “Israel first said it lethally targeted a car carrying journalists in Gaza because there was a terrorist in the car. Now it says that the use by a journalist of a drone made it ‘look like’ they were terrorists.”
Flip flop, now calling all the people in the car terrorists
The list of Al Jazeera journalists and staff who have lost members of their families or have died themselves is also growing.
In December, Anas al-Sharif lost his father to an Israeli air raid that struck his family’s house in Jabalia.
A few days earlier, on December 6, Moamen Al Sharafi, a correspondent for Al Jazeera Arabic, had 22 members of his family killed when an Israeli attack hit the house they were sheltering in at the Jabalia refugee camp.
In late October, broadcast engineer Mohamed Abu Al-Qumsan lost 19 members of his family, including his father and two sisters, during Israeli air raids on the same refugee camp.
