Recently, a tower was bombed by Israeli forces in Gaza, which hosted news organisations like Associate Press & Al Jazeera. The bombed tower also hosted Hamas Terrorists. The Israeli Forces have claimed that the Journalists, who worked for the Associate Press, drank coffee with Hamas electronic experts. 

Reacting to this, AP said that this is ‘Untrue’. In a statement, AP said – 

This unsubstantiated allegation attributed to the Israeli military’s chief of staff is patently false. There was not even a cafeteria in the building. Such baseless claims jeopardize the safety of AP journalists. We continue to call for an independent investigation into the destruction of the building housing our Gaza bureau so that the facts are known. As we have said repeatedly, we had no indication of a Hamas presence in the building, nor were we warned of any such possible presence before the airstrike. We do not know what the Israeli evidence shows, and we want to know.
