The HonestReporting organization published an investigation on their website (Wednesday) raising serious questions as to whether photographers working with the foreign press knew in advance about the planned massacre on October 7 and remained silent.

According to the investigation, it was not just terror activists who filmed the massacre – so did foreign photographers working with various news agencies. The issue raises very serious ethical questions, and it appears that the photographers present in real time were informed that something terrible was about to happen and informed no-one.

A freelance photographer working for the American media outlet CNN documented some of the activities of the massacre. A burning tank, terrorist infiltration into many kibbutzim are just some of the pictures and footage which he filmed and broadcast live, in real time, to social media. This photographer was even documented as having friendly relations with mass murderer Yahya Sinwar, leader of the Hamas terrorist organization’s military wing.

Documenting the Kidnapping and Lynching of Soldiers in Real Time

Another photographer affiliated with the New York Times also documented the kidnapping of German-Israeli Shani Louk into the truck of the terrorists. A photographer employed by Reuters documented a lynch terrorists carried out on the soldiers of bodies dragged from burning tanks. The pictures were even given the title “image of the day” at the news agency.

All these attest to the various photographers presenting in real time during the events of the massacre and raising serious questions of what they knew and how they did not inform anyone of the terrorists’ intentions.
