On May 18, an Israeli airstrike bombed<\/a> the high-rise building housing Al Jazeera and The Associated Press’ offices in Gaza City. A screenshot of an article reporting the incident has been shared portraying the reporter donning a Hamas headband. It is being claimed that a journalist with the Associated Press forgot to remove his Hamas headband before live reporting.<\/p>\n

Facebook page ‘AAP is No More for Aam Aadmi<\/a>‘ wrote a bizarre caption that read, “It is true that a Shantidoot (euphemism for Muslims) is a Shantidoot first and a news reporter, police officer, or politician second…Those who were criticizing Israel for attacking the media are silent now that this journalist has been exposed as a member of Hamas, a terrorist organization banned by the UN and over 150 countries. Someday, Ravish Kumar may also forget to remove his Hizbul Mujahideen headband before going live on the air”.<\/p>\n

Several Twitter users have promoted the claim. (Archive link<\/a>)<\/p>\n
