The Hind Rajab Foundation has identified Israeli Air Force commander Tomer Bar as responsible for the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has indeed made a public claim identifying Israeli Air Force commander Tomer Bar as responsible for the airstrike that killed five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza. This is confirmed by multiple sources including a social media post by Declassified UK and reports from Middle East Eye and Press TV.

The HRF, together with the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, has filed a complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) seeking accountability for the incident, framing it as a war crime.

The incident involved an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City that killed five journalists working for Al Jazeera, including correspondent Anas Al-Sharif. Israel has labeled some of the victims as Hamas operatives, which complicates the narrative and is part of ongoing conflict-related claims.

While HRF’s identification of Tomer Bar as responsible is a serious allegation, independent third-party verification or official confirmation from international bodies or Israel is not available in the sources provided. The claim largely comes from HRF and affiliated organizations.

The context includes a broader conflict environment where media personnel have been casualties, and accusations of targeting journalists are highly contested between Israel and Palestinian groups.
