“Last month CPJ warned of an Israeli military smear campaign against Anas which it feared was manufacturing evidence to justify his assassination… It’s becoming clear that just b/c Israeli authorities say a journalist is a hamas fighter, that can’t be taken at face value.” Speaking on Monocle Radio
