Israeli tank in 'likely scenario' fired machine gun at reporters after deadly shelling, report finds
BEIRUT/THE HAGUE, March 7 (Reuters) - An Israeli tank crew killed a Reuters reporter in Lebanon in October by firing two shells at a clearly identified group of journalists and then "likely" opened fire on them with a heavy machine gun in an attack that lasted 1 minute and 45 seconds, according to a report into the incident published on Thursday.
You're viewing a single thread.
the IDF said: "We don't target journalists."
DOUBT
With their kill count, that actually sounds worse. It would mean that they killed so many civilians that you'd statistically expect over 100 journalists to be among them.
Well yeah, they target Hamas, and all the journalists are Hamas. Totally different.
I use that excuse for everything. "Sorry can't go to in-laws, there's a hamas tunnel beneath their home"
"calling out sick, there's a high value Hamas target nearby, so sorry."
"oops, my bad for rear-ending your vehicle but you had Hamas in your car."
That falafel looks Hamas, hand it over now!
More like: "My ancestors ate chickpeas ... therefore, that falafel is mine!"
They don't target them specifically. They just kill everything that doesn't wear their colors.
Sometimes they kill them anyway.
Can't be too sure. Or maybe they're color blind. Anyway, they started blasting.
Just like that time that hamas decided to disguise themselves as three Israeli hostages and then they took off their shirts and waves the white hamas terror flag over their heads while speaking Hebrew asking for help. Good thing the IDF was their to stop theses Hamas terrorist from constructing body armour out of neonates.
"No... you guys stay here and hold the checkpoint. We'll be over there
where it's safegetting some snacks."
Just witnesses
You buried the lede:
"Reuters could not independently determine if the Israeli tank crew knew it was firing on journalists, nor whether it also shot at them with a machine gun and, if so, why."
Ah yes the magical part where the IDF denies it or says oops and you absolutely find that as a good enough excuse for starving 2 million human beings who are no different than you.
