An Al Jazeera reporter cut off an interview with a Gazan man who said Hamas can ‘go to hell’.

The Qatari-owned broadcaster interviewed an injured Palestinian man at Al-Aqsa hospital in Gaza on Sunday 5 November.  

However, the Al Jazeera reporter cut the conversation short as soon as the man criticised the terror group for hiding among civilians. 

“As for the resistance, they come and hide among the people. Why are they hiding among the people? They can go to hell and hide there,” the man said, according to a translation by the Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI) from Arabic to English.
