Interesting that the Associated Press didn’t use a still from the actual video of the incident.
Isn’t combatants dressing as medics considered a war crime? I’m sure holding up in a hospital basically using innocent civilians as cover is as well. This entire situation seems completely fucked by both sides.
Yeah, it’s totally fucked. And there’s a weird part of me that is thinking this is “better”. Israel not bombing indiscriminately and instead using special forces for more precise measure to hit military targets is what people want in some weird way. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be viewed as still terrible or in some way an improvement in the way the war is being waged.
Yes, but as always, it’s okay when Israel does it.
There are more than two “sides”.
Local news here reported they were killed in their hospital beds, so not sure about “holding up”. There’s a video showing a couple lifeless looking people in beds, but who knows what the truth is.
Two were killed sitting in chairs, one was executed in a hospital bed.

I’m definitely finding this war very difficult to determine what is true and what is propaganda.
It’s very difficult if you’re reading mainstream American newspapers because they gloss over israeli war crimes while exaggerating and even lie about things the Palestinian resistance does.
The story remains extremely consistent if you follow pro-Palestinian outlets like Electronic Intifada, MondoWeiss and The Grayzone.
