Israeli snipers shooting at ‘every moving object’
As we reported earlier, Israeli snipers killed at least 21 people in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were gunned down trying to reach Nasser Hospital.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says that Israeli snipers are surrounding the area of Nasser Hospital and “shooting at every moving object” as people are trying to reach it from the two densely populated residential neighbourhoods from the eastern and the western part of the hospital.
“The area around the hospital is very dangerous, and it has turned into a combat zone,” he said, noting that the hospital area is the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left.

It’s impossible to know based on these ‘reports’
What would be an acceptable reason? These “reports” seem quite damning. With snipers. No collateral damage necessary. And yet here we are
It’s not about acceptance. I want facts. I want to know why. Journalism is not a game of yelling and pointing, it’s about giving the whole story. This ‘news’ is like your racist uncle on Facebook spouting nonsense.
Maybe you missed the point of the question. Can you imagine any possible reason why that would make this ok? What justification could there possibly be? Not even in the realm of facts, just theoretically speaking.
I just want to address this because people say it a lot. Basically all news about “events that occurred” come from “reports,” unless there is public documentation or photo/video evidence. In a war zone this is totally normal. There is literally no other way to find out what is going on. It’s not like there are researchers on the scene collecting data and getting it peer reviewed before putting it on CNN.
Is there any reason you think that these people making these first hand reports are lying?
No. Imagining is for your after school sesame street shows, this is for facts. Anything else is a waste of time.
Journalism is research. Posting random videos is TikTok.
Thinking about things is really quite useful.
What if you post it on an established mainstream news outlet who employs you and it shows real-time footage of the thing we’re all trying to find out about?
Just like images, realtime footage is useless without facts. This isn’t kindergarten, journalism is investigation, not just posting videos.
Ok
If there were any journalists left in Gaza, I wonder what is going on there… Where are all those journalists gone?!? Do I need to leave an (/s) or the sarcasm is obvious enough?
It seems like all those journalists are being also targeted by the most moral army in the world, I wonder why…
Wut
https://cpj.org/2024/02/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/ I will just leave this here
And?
Targeting journalists and preventing them from showing what is happening in Gaza is part of the dehumanization effort of Israel to portray Palestinians as a faceless crowd.
And the fact that Israel is getting a pass is just showing how biased and hypocritical our society is.
Is this some form of emotional protection against admitting this is heartless genocide?
All news are reports, my dude

No, dude, this is due diligence that must be adhered to by supposed news organizations. Clearly all they are posting is click bait and rage bait.
This isn’t ragebait though. Your assessment is baseless.
Your response is baseless. It’s clearly rage bait because it has zero information.
