In this Juno News investigation, Melanie Bennet examines how Canadian media outlets used photographs and quotations from Gaza-based journalists later named by the Israel Defense Forces as members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The IDF dossier reportedly identifies 170 people counted as journalists who belonged to armed groups, including 17 alleged to have participated in the October 7 attacks. Bennet traces material from Anas al-Sharif, Omar al-Derawi and Hassan Eslaiah into Canadian coverage distributed through wire services or published by domestic outlets. She argues that newsrooms still made an editorial choice to publish this material and should account for how those sources were vetted.
