A BBC cameraman for his new controversial documentary would have 'glorified' the massacre on 7 October.
Tweets that prizes the terror attack and the murder of the Israelis were reportedly posted by the crew member Hatem Rawagh, when Hamas terrorists killed 1200 people and more than 250 hostages, De Telegraaf revealed.
He tweeted about the Jom Kippur war from 1973 – when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel – and said in the post: “Whoever missed in Egypt on October 6 … 7 October happens in Palestine.”
Only a day later did one of his X reports seem to kill an Israeli soldier who had a video of a shooter he endorsed: “You go back to this video a million times.”
The horrible video was originally posted by the military wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, and filmed from the point of view of a shooter who killed the Israeli soldier in Erez, near the border with Gaza.
While another posts from Mr. Rawagh in April 2023 in the Omari mosque in the Omari mosque in Gaza shared after a car attack in Tel Aviv who saw an Italian tourist death and seven others injured.
“A festive atmosphere in the Omari mosque of Gaza when the news about the operation arrived in Tel Aviv,” he wrote.

The shocking tweets were discovered by the Commission for Accuracy in the Middle East Reporting and Analysis (Camera).
A spokesperson for the camera said: “These messages seem to glorify the horrible terrorist acts that were committed on October 7, 2023. Everyone she wrote has no place for the BBC. Here is even more proof of the editorial shortcomings in the documentary for which the BBC must answer. '
The large outlet valve is under intensive research, because it still has to reveal whether the money from the taxpayers was paid to Hamas while making the film.
Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, has demanded an investigation into 'potential collusion' with the terrorist group that has been claimed.
The BBC was approached for comment.
It follows a row over the Gaza documentary of the BBC that was deepened on Monday after the company spent £ 400,000 on the controversial film.
The enormous amount was paid to Hoyo Films in London, who was behind the documentary called Gaza: How to Survive A Warzone.
The BBC was forced to give an apology and to remove the program from his IPLayer service after it appeared the son of a Hamas Minister Prominent.
Abdullah Al-Yazouri, the 14-year-old narrator and central figure of the documentary, was the son of Ayman Alyazouri, the vice-minister of agriculture in the government run by Hamas.
The connection was not made clear to viewers when it was first broadcast on BBC 2 last Monday and later another child appeared in the film The daughter of a former captain of the Hamas-Runned Police, while a third child was depicted With Hamas Fighters – give rise to allegations that the BBC offers a propaganda platform for the terror group.
Danny Cohen, former director of BBC Television, said that the corporation must now 'take into account every cent that is spent on this documentary'.
It comes after Tory leader Kemi Badenoch demanded whether License-Fee was given money to Hamas terrorists while making the film, while cultural secretary Lisa Nandy has promised to raise the issue with the BBC.
Mr. Cohen said on Monday: '£ 400,000 is a lot of money from license-fee payers … they must be told transparently where their money went and whether something of it reached Hamas's hands.

“The BBC must also start a broader investigation into systemic bias against Israel after repeated editorial failures since the massacre of 7 October.”
The BBC has had to deal with accusations of alleged anti-Israel bias while covering the war in Gaza.
Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: 'Since the attack of 7 October, the BBC has completely failed the license payment payer.
Despite endless warnings about inaccurate and favored reporting, they have learned nothing.
'We need a full investigation to achieve this to the bottom. Is the producers collaborated with Hamas officials in Gaza when making this documentary? Does the BBC, and therefore the license fee, accidentally finance a terrorist organization? '
Mrs Badenoch has called for an investigation into any 'potential collusion with Hamas' and 'the possibility of payment' to terrorists.
Downing Street said there were no circumstances in which it would be acceptable for the BBC to have paid money to Hamas.
The official spokesperson for the Prime Minister said on Monday: 'I think the BBC has released a statement stating that she is investigating this and the culture secretary said she will increase this with the BBC leadership. It is clear that they tackle this. '
It came forward later
The BBC was forced to give an apology and to remove the program from his IPLayer service after it appeared the son of a Hamas minister.
Asked if there were circumstances in which it could be acceptable to pay Hamas, the prime minister's spokesperson said: “No. That is clearly one for the BBC and one that I believe they said they are looking at. '
The BBC initially tried to defend the program, where the finger was directed to Hoyo films because they didn't tell about the Hamas link.
However, the contract between the BBC and Hoyo suggests that the company had direct and regular involvement, where one section reads: “We will tackle problems with editorial compliance when they occur by having regular updates and phone calls with the commissioning editor.”
The BBC only removed the program from IPLayer after 45 prominent Jewish figures from the TV, film and media sectors demanded it. In a statement on the page clarifications and corrections, the BBC said it was removed in the light of 'constant questions about the program' and while it carried out further due diligence with the production company.
Hoyo Films made the film after working with the BBC on the documentary Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods.
In a first statement, the BBC said: 'Since the transfer of our documentary about Gaza, the BBC has become aware of the family ties of the narrator of the film, a child named Abdullah.
'We have promised our audience the highest standards of transparency, so it is only precisely that, as a result of this new information, we add a little more detail to the film before the recansmission. Our apologies for omitting that detail from the original film.
“We followed all our usual compliance procedures when making this film, but we were not informed of this information by the independent producers when we met the completed film and then broadcast.”
It said that the film remained a 'powerful children's image of the devastating consequences of the war in Gaza, which we think is an invaluable proof of their experiences'.
The international center of justice for Palestinians has criticized the concern about the documentary and insisted on the BBC to 'stand against these attempts to prevent the life of life in Gaza in first -hand in the audience is reached '.
In a statement it said: 'For some, almost every Palestinian perspective seems to be considered unacceptable. In this case, objections were raised because Abdullah's father holds a government role in the Hamas-Runned Gaza government. However, this does not deny the child's lived experience or his witness in invalid '.
The BBC refused to comment on last night. Hoyo could not be achieved for comment.
