IDF kills PIJ terrorists, including five who doubled as journalists in Nuseirat strike

Five Al Quds Today TV journalists who doubled as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists were killed in a targeted strike carried out by the Israel Air Force near the Nuesirat area of Gaza overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, the IDF said on Thursday afternoon. The IDF statement confirming the event came after Arab media outlets reported that five journalists working for the Palestinian news outlet were killed. These reports did not note their PIJ affiliations.

One of the sources the IDF said it used to confirm the identity of the terrorists it struck was taken from a list of PIJ operatives discovered by Israel's military during previous operations in the Gaza Strip.The IDF listed the names of the terrorists and what their roles in the terror group were. It said most of them were "combat propagandists," meaning their role in the terror group was to double as journalists.

Who were the terrorists killed in the strike?

Since when are illegal combatants committing the war crime of perfidy entitled to a trial?
