"The IDF accused Shuaib of operating as a member of Hezbollah's Radwan forces and included a photo of him wearing a military uniform. When asked by Fox News about the source of the photo, the IDF responded, quote, Unfortunately there isn't really a picture of it, it was Photoshopped."
"Ali Shuaib was no journalist, he was an intelligence asset with a camera. Operating under the cover of Al-Manar, Hezbollah's own television network, he functioned as part of the organisation's propaganda and intelligence machinery."

Israeli diplomat Alex Gandler supported this view, stating that media within terrorist organizations is operational rather than independent.
