For the sake of full honesty I must include this:
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
- Thread starter Teufel
- Start date
Who were the Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza?
Prominent reporter Anas al-Sharif and six other journalists were killed when Israel targeted a tent used by media, the broadcaster said.
www.bbc.com
That BBC article confirms Al-Sharif had been part of a Hamas media team, though they say it was a few years ago.
So was his old job something like this?

Are these people "journalists"?

Nothing you posted is conclusive evidence regarding the man in the original article. The photos you posted are not of that man.That BBC article confirms Al-Sharif had been part of a Hamas media team, though they say it was a few years ago.

Newsweek also states that the evidence supplied by Israel has not been verified and/or is not conclusive:

To quote the BBC article:
The facts of the matter:
- Very little evidence for any of Israel's claims about any of the journalists killed by them.
- Israel broke international law by deliberately killing journalists/non-combatants (regardless of whether they are proved later to have been members of Hamas/terrorist groups).
Also, this isn't the first time Israel has killed Al Jazeera journalists:

Trump unveils Gaza peace plan, hailing backing from Israel, Arab and Muslim states
President calls on Hamas to accept proposal, which would see release of all hostages within 72 hours, says backing it was popular thing for PM do, amid likely pushback from far-right
www.timesofisrael.com
The Trump ceasefire plan is.... really good? Immediate ceasefire, full hostage release, huge release of imprisoned Hamas members, huge influx of aid, no population transfer from Gaza, no Israeli settlers / occupation / annexation, Hamas to disarm and yield the government. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt to send boots on the ground for stabilization and training a new security force.
What's REALLY interesting is point 17, which says even if Hamas rejects this deal, America and Israel and those Muslim countries will go ahead with it anyway in most of Gaza outside Gaza City proper. There would be no hostage releases or prisoners, but most of the area would quickly become internationally administered.

Y’know how things look TOO good to be true? That’s what this feels like. Can it really be this simple?
I feel like something doesn’t quite…add up…you guys get what I mean?
Even Jordan.
I don't know. This sounds like it has a chance. For a joint statement of approval from so many players to come so quickly tells me they were in the loop. This is the plan whether Hamas accepts it or not.
It's
The same one where Israel said they would "finish the job" and that Hamas must surrender "or else"?
The same one where a Palestinian state is really just lip-service and an empty promise?

Is that the deal that Hamas wasn't invited to?
