The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday accused the Hamas terror group of attacking Israeli troops working to open up a humanitarian corridor for Palestinians to evacuate from northern Gaza to its south.
The military has for weeks been urging northern Gaza residents to evacuate southward, warning them it will be focusing its military efforts on the Gaza City area, the heart of Hamas’s rule and its main base of operations in Gaza. At least 800,000 of some one million residents of the area have done so.
It’s published in their opinion section by an author who has only published this one article on MEE, with this disclaimer:
Opinion articles tend to rely on sources that have not been formally verified in the journalistic sense. That’s why they’re disallowed by Rule 3 in the sidebar.
I did skip over the first paragraph - janky formatting on my phone.
Looking at the report linked in the first paragraph - it’s published by DCI-P, a nonjournalistic organization. They’ve been accused of being connected to terrorist funding in the past (apparently with sufficient evidence to make their banks close their accounts), but I don’t see them on the OFAC lists so it’s not a smoking gun to not trust them. Haaretz covered it, and it does seem to be a legitimate account of using a human shield with no followup prosecution coverage of the forces involved.
The second link is a tweet by an Iranian news station. Iran is not an unbiased source for news about Israel/Palestine.
The embedded tweets (now that they actually load) are referring to the same incident in May 2022. Are you perhaps referring to the May 2002 incident mentioned a few paragraphs later?
Sure. B’Tselem had cases in 2014 that went nowhere because Palestinians basic human rights are compromised.
And no I was not referring to that.
