The Associated Press denied any knowledge that the Jala Tower—which was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike—was also being shared by Hamas, a designated terror group, as claimed by top Israeli leaders.
AP CEO Gary Pruitt issued a statement over the weekend denying that the newswire service knew Hamas terrorists were operating in the building, located in the Gaza Strip. The Jala Tower also hosted Qatar-backed media outlet Al Jazeera and other news organizations.
