00:06the Hamas or Islamic Jihad militant groups.

00:09It published documents Wednesday, October 23, supposedly proving the men had a military

00:14affiliation to the groups.

00:16The papers supposedly included Hamas and Islamic Jihad lists of personnel details, salaries

00:21and militant training courses, phone directories and injury reports.

00:25But al-Jazeera says the move is an attempt to silence journalists.

00:34of deliberately killing its journalists.

00:41in Gaza.
