Israel argues tower it bombed housing reporters 'not a media center' but Hamas HQ

Amid a global outcry, the Israel Defense Forces have defended their targeting of a Gaza Strip office tower housing international media outlets, arguing the primary purpose of the structure was not journalistic but rather to serve as a headquarters for the Hamas movement and other Palestinian factions.

The Israeli airstrike was met with criticism and condemnation from journalists, and even prompted a call from the White House. The second was"research and development, where the best subject matter experts were operating from inside that building, using the hardware, computers and other facilities inside the building to develop weapons, military weapons against as well."Conricus declined to go into specifics, but said such tools were used by Hamas"in fighting against us in order to hamper or limit the activity of the IDF inside Israel and on civilian activity along with the Gaza envelope.

Conricus also emphasized what he called the IDF's commitment to ensuring the safety and free work of journalists, even if this degraded the effectiveness of the strike to a degree.

GOOD.

What else they going to say. They mention Hamas and they get a Get Out of Jail Free Card 🙄😱🤭😳

Whatever it takes to keep Netanyahu out of an Israeli jail, eh? 🙄

Every Hamas rocket which landed in Israel was sent as a good faith to a friendly neighbor

This looks like a deliberate attack on the press to me.

Hamas has literally been using civilian centers for military operations since they took power. The UN straight up condemned them multiple times for using schools as rocket storage facilities.

Israel will claim everything was used by Hamas. Even the air in the Gaza. Hence, the right for Israelis to bomb families & children. These families had the audacity to share the same air as Hamas. To know U.S. tax dollars are subsidizing this mess is sickening.

IsraelTerrorism has reputation toward international community

Attacking press so that true media cannot show the atrocities committed by terrorist Israel. Where is the proof that it was Hamas HQ. do your research before false reporting and becoming mouthpiece of a terrorist zionist regime

shameful reporting this. Israel acknowledged that it housed media agencies and claim it was also used by Hamas. You’re perfectly entitled to dispute the validity of that claim, but this tweet is flat out inaccurate.

Lol what a joke

If Israel says it, it must be true then

Let the lies begin...

So why are AlJazeera_World And AssociatedPress saying their offices WERE targeted by IsraeliPM

The people of Gaza are sick of living under Hamas .

Civilians pay the price during worst Israel-Hamas fighting since 2014Tensions over the prospective eviction of six Palestinian families in East Jerusalem dramatically escalated last weekend, with clashes between police and protesters at al-Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. This prompted a rocket assault from Hamas into Israel on Monday. In turn, Israel responded with airstrikes of its own, and the two sides have continued to trade assaults since. Y’all bogus for this headline. You know damn well that this is beyond terrorism. They are taking out media buildings as targeted strikes. Do your job as a journalist or gtfo Civilians have nowhere to run because those who are fighting hide among them. Only of course there is.
