This is the reality of what Israeli is doing.

Kettle and pot comes to mind.

Freidman who served in the IDF, was a disgruntled ex AP employee and was quoting a military source.

Hind and all the other children murdered, mutilated and effectively being tortured everyday by an out of control vengeful state.
US nuclear weapons returning to the UK , Trump gets in and ramps up the USA warmongering with Netanyahu and the other Israeli Govt lunatics. Target on our backs when the UK public do not support this. It's a disaster waiting to happen and our Govt should not be supporting this plausible probable genocide.

They can't guarantee their safety because Israel is bombing media targets. Your screenshot says that!

Every warzone is dangerous but media manages to enter and report. But not every warzone has an occupying force bombing media and civilian targets. That's the difference.

@Auvergne63 is correct. There's no point talking to you. Your own source contradicts your point and you're still arguing. I give up.

Yes, buildings containing press offices have been bombed. That's not the same as the press offices being targeted because they're press offices.

Anyway, more than happy not to continue this entirely fruitless discussion where all I've been trying to say is to stop making assumptions. It seems to be an important thing for a lot of you to be allowed to continue with though so you just keep doing that. Who needs the truth anyway, eh? It's so overrated.

126 days ago the IDF would have had more intel about Hamas activities than they do now because until Oct 7th they had the means to surveil every square inch of Gaza and of course it's hard to locate specific addresses when all you've left is piles of rubble. They would have had more opportunities for targeted operations not fewer when they decided levelling Gaza and murdering civilians was a good idea.

Literally every military expert was screaming Stalingrad when the bombing raids started, the IDF have made their job of finding Hamas and the hostages harder.

The tunnel network is still functioning and the IDF have left northern Gaza, the hostages who aren't killed by the IDF will just be moved to somewhere the IDF are no longer operating.

I suspect the people housing the hostages aren't given much of a choice. The IDF are putting the hostages at risk, intentionally so. Dead hostages are not an asset to Hamas so they have an interest in keeping them alive.

Hamas took hostages and continue to hide them because they want leverage. Like it or not they have objectives. Israel can continue to kill civilians and probably the hostages or they can negotiate. Netanyahu won't negotiate because the hostages are as much collateral damage as the Palestinians are. At least now he has an excuse to ethnically cleanse Gaza and as a bonus it keeps him out of jail, for the moment. It's a win win for him whilst everyone else suffers.

Sorry, truth? The truth is that Israel has banned journalists from entering. That's all we need to know.

Yes sure. That is fact. The claims earlier about the reason for journalists being banned - not fact. That's all I've been trying to say. I'm glad we're finally on the same page 👍🏻

Yes, we can look at other evidence, like 85 journalists murdered to figure out the rest 👍

@FOJN there is a lot of supposition in your post.

I am curious why the IDF targeted and killed every drone operator in Gaza if they weren't trying to suppress the documenting of what is happening on the ground? I'm also curious how many times, when they target a journalist or a drone operator they seem to take out the car or the ambulance - they send targeted and specific devices if they have a suspect, as discussed here:

https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/01/27/new-tools-of-war-how-the-idf-uses-drones-to-fight-hamas-in-gaza/

So, why drop bombs on entire buildings if they can operate in this way? They estimate they have killed 9k Hamas fighters. So out of the conservative estimate of 25k dead they are operating at a 16k civilian to 9k fighters death rate? What? It makes no sense that they are then selling this as 'getting rid of Hamas'. It's not factual as they are in fact obliterating more civilians than the enemy. Also, if they are bombing tunnels why the hell are they bombing graveyards? There can't be tunnels under graveyards?

I think given the context surrounding the message that journalists couldn’t be kept safe, it is reasonable to suspect that there may be a different intention to those words than their literal meaning. I don’t think that it is biased to say that (or that anyone who says that must think Israel is evil), I think it is based on evidence regarding journalists safety, and visibility of the tactics that are being used to control the narrative.

Possibly supposition but also logical, I was responding to your post which started with "I doubt".

It has been reported that Israeli Occupation has killed two hostages and injured eight others due to their bombing campaign.

Which is why it has been stated that the campaign in Palestine is not about getting any hostages back

It is obvious that Israel doesn't care about the hostages. ☹️

@Silence1 "Hind and all the other children murdered, mutilated and effectively being tortured everyday by an out of control vengeful state."

You think IDF is torturing children? Oh boy !

I can't see any blood.

The red you can see is a red t-shirt.

Some really creative journalism here !

Yes, they do. A quick Google search was all it took to find this:

Exactly (which is terrible) but it is so blatant yet some still seem to believe it is about the hostages.

Thank you for posting that. It is beyond belief how some appear to believe that this isn't happening

Really? I don't even have my glasses on but I can clearly see the blood on the ground by legs... oh well, no dount he will be soon accused of being "Hamas" given the usual reaction from some

Oh boy.... despite the numerous reports some still refuse to open their eyes

1. Children may throw stones but how are IDF to know they aren't throwing hand grenades?

2."The Israeli Foreign Ministry said it had responded to a report by the U.N. children's agency UNICEF in March on ill-treatment of Palestinian minors and questioned whether the U.N. committee's investigation covered new ground.
"If someone simply wants to magnify their political bias and political bashing of Israel not based on a new report, on work on the ground, but simply recycling old stuff, there is no importance in that," spokesman Yigal Palmor said.
The report by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child acknowledged Israel's national security concerns and noted that children on both sides of the conflict continue to be killed and wounded, but that more casualties are Palestinian."

3.These are allegations. What investigations have been done?

4.See 1, In response to the section claiming: “Many protesters threw rocks or other projectiles but were posing no threat to the lives of well-protected Israeli soldiers when they were shot,” Laufer said : “This thinking both excuses violence, while creating a baseless standard that prevents Israeli forces from protecting themselves and others.”

5.That link is behind a paywall.

Well I can't see it.
You've obviously never been in a casualty dept.
If the guy was ' bleeding out' all those soldiers would be paddling in blood. In addition, the 'casualty' would have lost consciousness in the time that clip was running. People can bleed out in 2 mins without medical attention.

As I said 'creative journalism'.
