Batsel has served as the spokesperson for the Civil Defense for a long time and has used his position to disseminate false and unverified information to international media outlets. This included falsely attributing war crimes to Israel and presenting distorted data. This information has received wide media coverage around the world and has severely misrepresented the reality on the ground.

“The documents that were uncovered indicate that Mahmoud Sabar Tafesh Batsal is a terrorist in the Hamas organization, who, as part of his role, serves the purposes of psychological warfare and propaganda,” the IDF stated.
“The IDF calls on media outlets to exercise caution with unverified information published by the Hamas terrorist organization, particularly through the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip,” the statement concluded.
The MSM, the democrats, the left, the UN, etc. all take everything they say as fact because they are Jew hating scum.
In other words, now that the IDF knows, he’s marked for death aka dead man walking. Good. Can’t come soon enough. Take his entire family out with him and leave no one behind.
It’s great that VIN is posting this! Now VIN, YWN and The Jewish Press will know not to trust Mahmoud anymore. But will this make an you’re of a difference to any other media agency?
Once the Israelis allow journalists and outside aid groups in, all these Hamas lies will be revealed.
