Al Jazeera reporter, a Hamas supporter and cameraman seriously got their karma going

On October 7, 2023 when Israelis were butchered, beheaded, burned, mutilated and raped, Al Jazeera "reporter" Esma'il Abu Omar laughed with glee and he broadcasted the massacre from Nir Oz on Black Saturday. 

The glee is gone on his face now and karma has taken its place as he and a photojournalist have been seriously "droned" by an Israeli airstrike that allegedly targeted the pair while working in Gaza.

According to the Doha-based news network, Esma'il Abu Omar, one of its correspondents, and his camera operator, Ahmad Matar, were in northern Rafah where they were documenting the living conditions caused by Hamas of displaced Palestinian families when they were directly targeted by a missile fired by a drone.

Both journalists were transferred to Gaza’s European hospital, where doctors amputated the leg of the terror supporter Omar in an effort to save his anti-Semitic life. Matar was described by Al Jazeera as being in a “serious condition.” 

So serious that there is no room for happiness over the death of the Jews.

The oxymoronically named Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the two were hit in a strike from an Israeli warplane in the Moraj area. Video from the scene of the strike showed both men were wearing protective equipment that identified them as media, unlike the babies Hamas killed on October 7, who wore only diapers or kids clothing.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strike saying only it would check the details of the incident. But the truth is, journalists on both sides are working in a very dangerous job and are frequently victims of the wars they cover.

Al Jazeera’s Gaza team has paid a particularly heavy price during the war, especially those who worked as Hamas operatives.

War sucks but so does Omar. At least he didn't get beheaded or have nails shot into his vagina, but the karma is a total Schadenfreude.
