On Sunday, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed his intelligence agencies shared information with the United States indicating Hamas shared an office building with The Associated Press. The building was demolished during an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) airstrike earlier this week.

“We shared with our American friends all that intelligence,” Netanyahu said on “Face The Nation.” “Here’s the intelligence we had: it’s about Palestinian terrorists, an intelligence office for the Palestinian terrorist organization, housed in that building, that plots and organizes the terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. So it’s a perfectly legitimate target.”
