Documents uncovered in Gaza have revealed that Hamas has been issuing instructions to the Qatari state-run media outlet Al Jazeera, according to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.

From the documents, the research center found that Hamas’s information officers directed coordinated terminology and stories with Al Jazeera to formulate coverage that would not "harm the image of the resistance."

One of the documents recovered in 2022 stated that Al Jazeera should avoid using terms such as “massacre” to describe a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket strike in Jabalya as Hamas acknowledged the attacks were not he result of attacks by "the occupation.”
