The families of five Supernova festival attendees murdered in the October 7 Hamas massacre filed a lawsuit to the Jerusalem District Court on Wednesday against Associated Press and Reuters for their employment of photo-journalists who accompanied the terrorists during their pogrom.
Representatives of the parents of Shani Louk, May Naim, Lotan Abir, Guy Gabriel Levi, and Shalev Madmoni argued that the news agencies were liable for journalists in their continued employ who knew about and whose photos inspired further violence.
The lawsuit contended that the journalists participated in the crime, and received compensation from Reuters and AP for their involvement by selling or licensing the image rights. It was argued that a number of images of serious crimes were uploaded to the news agencies website, whose rights belong to them and sometimes only credited the news agencies.
It was unlikely that the journalists did not know about the massacre ahead of time, given the photographs they took at the very beginning of the attack, yet did not alert authorities, the filing charged.
The publication of the photos in the early hours of October 7 inspired Gazans to swarm into Israel to conduct further violence, the lawsuit claimed.

The lawsuit follows a lawsuit against AP filed in the Southern District of Florida on behalf of survivors, family members of victims, and those displaced by the attack. The lawsuit contended that AP ignored the connections the photographers had to terrorist organizations.
AP said on Thursday that the Florida lawsuit was baseless, and that it "had no advance knowledge of the October 7 attacks, nor have we seen any evidence – including in the lawsuit – that the freelance journalists who contributed to our coverage did."
"Documenting breaking news events around the world – no matter how horrific – is our job," said AP Vice President of Corporate Communications Lauren Easton. "Without AP and other news organizations, the world would not have known what was happening on October 7."
Let's hope that the AP is correct.
