  • Statement by Hamas’ Izzat Al-Rishq;

    "Regarding what the spokesman for the terrorist enemy army said about the arrival of prisoners of the occupation to Al-Shifa Hospital, we said early on that the resistance transferred many prisoners of the occupation to hospitals to receive treatment and undergo surgical operations, especially after some of them were injured as a result of the occupation’s aircraft bombing them.

    We risked our fighters to guarantee the injured prisoners the best treatment. Possible in hospitals in the Gaza Strip.

    We have published many pictures about this; Now their army spokesman presents it as if they have discovered something great.

    What the spokesman for the occupation army says completely condemns them. These are points that are recorded for us and not for us.

    Taking care of the prisoners, treating them, and giving them possible medical care is a point for us and not for us."




  • Objectively, they didn’t do good journalism and cite primary sources.

    Primary sources were the interview with Yasmin Porat on Haboker Hazeh (which was censored by Israel) and the interview conducted with IDF helicopter pilots on, I think, Haaretz. Everything else is commentary on the same evidence.

    The fact that the Tampa Bay Times failed to cite those two primary sources really calls into question their legitimacy as an institution for journalism. It’s basic journalistic etiquette to cite primary sources where possible.
