Al Jazeera Strikes Again
Arabic Al Jazeera Leaks 30,000 IDF Soldiers' Info
Al Jazeera’s latest “What is Hidden is Greater” episode, titled “The Pursued,” claims to expose a leaked Israeli Air Force document naming nearly 30,000 personnel allegedly involved in Gaza strikes. Of course, they forgot to mention why the IDF was in Gaza in the first place.
Al Jazeera's long-running investigative program, "What is Hidden is Greater" (Ma Khafiya A'atham in Arabic), aired a new episode yesterday, titled "The Pursued," which claims that it revealed details from a leaked Israeli military document.
The document reportedly lists nearly 30,000 Israeli Air Force (IAF) pilots and personnel who participated in airstrikes and other military operations in Gaza since the Hamas massacres on 7th October 2023.
Screenshots from the episode show portions of the list, including columns for ID numbers, Hebrew names, genders, birth dates, and other identifiers, but no photos of individuals appear in the publicly shared excerpts.
The episode also focused on identifying specific IDF soldiers allegedly involved in "war crimes", drawing from exclusive documents provided by the the insanely anti-Israel Hind Rajab Foundation.
For instance, it named an IDF Major as the commander of the "Vampire Empire" company (whatever that means), who allegedly ordered tank fire that killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family, and two paramedics in January 2024 near Gaza City.
Other identified individuals include s soldier from the same unit, against whom the foundation has filed a lawsuit in Argentina for arrest.
The program highlighted photos and social media posts from a soldier from the 551st Engineering Brigade, who boasted about demolishing homes in Khuza'a near Khan Younis.
Another soldier was tracked fleeing to Peru after a Brazilian lawsuit; Peruvian authorities are now investigating him for war crimes based on his posts showing building destructions, including a mosque.
No official Israeli government or IDF response to this specific episode or leak has been reported in available sources. However, Israel has previously dismissed similar Al Jazeera reports as biased or based on misinformation, and has banned the network's operations within Israel citing national security concerns.
The authenticity of the leaked document has not been independently verified in the sources reviewed.
