The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that Abdallah Aljamal, an Al Jazeera reporter and photojournalist, is actively holding three Israeli hostages at his home in Nuseirat, central Gaza.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that four hostages, identified as Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40), were rescued in a daring IDF operation.
Noa Argamani was kidnapped while attending the Nova music festival on October 7. The young woman was reunited with her terminally ill father and mother after nearly eight months in custody.
The IDF released a statement after the successful operation, “It’s been 245 days since Noa hugged his sick father and mother. It’s been 245 days since he danced with his friends at the Nova festival. For 245 days, Noa was held captive by Hamas terrorists who only sought pain and suffering .Today, Hamas’ torture of Noa is over because he is reunited with his loved ones.
245 days.

On Sunday, the Israeli military confirmed that Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv were detained at the home of Abdallah Aljamal, an Al Jazeera journalist and confirmed Hamas terrorist, in central Gaza’s Nuseirat.
According to the IDF, Aljamal took the hostages along with members of his own family.
The Times of Israel reported that Al Jazeera denied claims that the three hostages were being held in an employee’s home.
News outlets report:
Qatari news network Al Jazeera has categorically denied any ties to Gaza-based journalist Abdallah Aljamal, amid unconfirmed rumors that hostage Noa Argamani has been held at his home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat.
According to various rumors, some of which were picked up by the Hebrew media with varying degrees of credence, Argamani was detained at the home of Dr. Ahmed Aljamal and his son Abdallah. He also claimed that Abdallah was an employee of Al-Jazeera.
The report is based on the statement of Rami Abdu, the head of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, who tweeted that soldiers went up to the Aljamals’ house during the attack and killed several family members, including Ahmed and Abdallah. He noted that Abdallah is a spokesman for the Hamas-run ministry of labor in Gaza and has contributed to several news stories in the past.
“This person is not from Al-Jazeera, and he does not work for Al-Jazeera at all, and he is not listed as working for Al-Jazeera now or in the past,” al-Jazeera Jerusalem bureau chief Omar al- Walid said. “We don’t know him, and all the rumors he spreads are empty and untrue.”
However, the IDF confirmed that the suspect worked for Al Jazeera, providing evidence by posting the journalist’s own biography from the Al Jazeera website.
“Journalist” Abdallah Aljamal is a Hamas terrorist who held Almog, Andrey and Shlomi hostage in his family home in Nuseirat. No amount of press vest can make him innocent of the crimes he committed. Al Jazeera what are these terrorists doing on your website?” the IDF wrote in X.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Honest Reporting, a watchdog organization steadfast in its mission to “expose anti-Israel media bias” in global journalism, has unearthed unsettling evidence against several photojournalists.
The photographer, previously known for his contributions to left-leaning news agencies such as The Associated Press (AP) and Reuters, has also been associated with freelance work for CNN and the New York Times.
This leftist media presented a photo of a journalist who was effectively placed with Hamas terrorists in the middle of the killing.
One of the journalists, Hassan Eslaiah, took pictures and video footage while cooperating with Hamas during the massacre.
It was also reported that Eslaiah appeared in a previously unseen photo with Hamas leader Yahya.
His pictures were featured by several left-wing media outlets, including AP, CNN, the New York Times, Reuters, and the Wall Street Journal.
The most shocking revelation was that Eslaiah was involved in a Hamas operation during the attack on kibbutz Kfar Azza.
In response to an investigation by Honest Reporting, the far-left CNN took steps to remove Eslaiah, stating to the Israeli outlet Ynet that if they did not find any direct fault with his work, they would suspend their relationship with him until further investigation.
“We are aware of articles and photos about Hassan Eslaiah, a freelance photojournalist who has worked with several international and Israeli outlets,” CNN wrote in a statement, according to Ynet.
“While we have not found any reason to doubt the journalistic accuracy of the work he has done for us, we have decided to suspend all relations with him,” added the network.
