Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht, the IDF’s international spokesman, said: “We don’t target journalists.” He did not provide further comment.

... because they classify them as enemy combatants/sympathisers whilst capturing footage of Israel's actions.

Throughout this conflict, and after having watched very closely the war in Ukraine the past 2 years... The rhetoric coming out of Israel matches very closely with the same sort of propaganda and denialism Russia uses.

It certainly doesn't seem accidental.

They are either targeting journalists or are so wonton in their indiscriminate killing that they just so happen to kill a bunch. I don’t know which is worse.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

They definitely target journalists. Covering IDF war crimes is the most criminal thing you can do in israel.

Saudi Arabia must be so jealous of the impunity the international community gives to Israels murder of journalists.

Given their propensity to use bone saws on US residents, I don’t know if they are that jealous.

Why wouldn't they be jealous of impunity if they used bone saws?

From 2019 (bold added for emphasis):

The Commission investigated every killing at the designated demonstration sites by the Gaza separation fence on official protest days. The investigation covered the period from the start of the protests until 31 December 2018. 189 Palestinians were killed during the demonstrations inside this period. The Commission found that Israeli Security Forces killed 183 of these protesters with live ammunition. Thirty-five of these fatalities were children, while three were clearly marked paramedics, and two were clearly marked journalists.

Israelis have sentient tanks now? Amazing.

Obviously he was merely working on the tank when it exploded. /s
