“The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza.” AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt and leaders of other news organizations demand an explanation for an Israeli airstrike that destroyed a Gaza City building housing AP offices and other media.

AP journalists and other tenants were safely evacuated from the 12-story al-Jalaa tower after the Israeli military warned of an imminent strike. Three heavy missiles hit the building within the hour, disrupting coverage of the ongoing conflict between’ Gaza’s Hamas rulers and Israel. At least 145 people in Gaza and eight in Israel have been killed since the fighting erupted on Monday night.said.

Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus claimed that Hamas used the building for a military intelligence office and weapons development. He said “a highly advanced technological tool” that the militant group used in the fighting was “within or on the building.” “This latest attack on a building long known by Israel to house international media raises the specter that the Israel Defense Forces is deliberately targeting media facilities in order to disrupt coverage of the human suffering in Gaza,” the group’s executive director, Joel Simon, said in a statement.that prompted some news organizations, including The Wall Street Journal, to erroneously report early Friday that Israel had launched a ground invasion of Gaza.

The strike on a building known to have the offices of international media outlets came as a shock to reporters who had felt relatively protected there.

When Hams is stopped

Since when dos the media have demand ability

Terrorism has no religion FreePalaestine from IsraeliTerrorism

IndiaStandWithIsrael

Israeli reckless animals... Theifs taking land and homes from the poor. One day the tides will change and I pray the Palestinians do worse against the Israelis FreePalestine IsraeliTerrorism israel IsraeliPM Give another generation a reason!!

Why do you need more than a laptop and an internet connection?

Just make up the news, like you do in The USA.

World knows enough about Hamas. What is happening in Gaza is because of Hamas. If Gaza were to get rid of Hamas the whole place will be vibrant economy and wonderful place to be in. It is pathetic that MSM keeps giving misinformation. Why don't you call out Hamas and condemn?

The explanation is that it was done on purpose to prevent the truth from getting out about the war crimes the Israelis are committing against the Palestinians in their slow motion genocide and colonization of stolen land.

'News organisations demand an explanation...' How about we, as humans of earth, demand an explanation why news organisations barely mention china locking a MILLION people in slave camps. Raping and sterilising the women. Tens of thousands of children.

Do you at AP ever headline Israeli human rights violations? You should be reporting it constantly. Not just when bombs start dropping.

Media will find a way to deliver news.

I hate that the AP & other news orgs’ offices were destroyed, but maybe that will help you understand that headlines that equate anything the Palestinians can dole out with Israel’s massive firepower sounds stupid. They aren’t “clashing.” Israel is committing genocide.

Big difference in death injuries for both sides 2008 to 2020 shows who is the aggressor if anything it's Palestine who are receiving the bombardment but don't have the same scale of weapons to protect themselves

Just in: AP and Al Jazeera attacked multiple Israeli missiles, including 2 children. PM Netanyahu condemns this heinous act of anti-semitism.

SethAbramson Yah. I think that was the point.

Israel demands an explanation for why you were shielding Hamas terrorists.

That’s why they did it

This picture may help world to see the rockets being fired over Israel which can be taken as explanation for Israeli air strikes.

How could they do that considering how much you've been kissing their asses!!

Wtf! No explanation is needed! They don’t care about anything or anyone and are above the law! They bombed a residential and media building FFS!

Yes please.

Very weak statement, say it frankly, it is part of IsraeliTerrorism

Seriously disgusting

American media and hamas in the same room for 15 years ? Lol israel is teror state

When Hamas uses that building to store munitions, it is no longer a neutral site. It immediately becomes a tactical target. What does bandaid-on-the-nose boy not understand?

Israel strike in Gaza destroys building with AP, other mediaAn Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City that housed offices of The Associated Press and other media outlets on Saturday, the latest step by the military to silence reporting from the territory amid its battle with the militant group Hamas. The strike came nearly an hour after the military ordered people to evacuate the building, which also housed Al-Jazeera, other offices and residential apartments. The strike came hours after another Israeli air raid on a densely populated refugee camp in Gaza City killed at least 10 Palestinians from an extended family, mostly children, in the deadliest single strike of the current conflict. It's cruel, cruel, cruel summa! Oh my and how many rockets were fired first on Israel? Maybe they can report the whole truth of these wars? Say Israel gives warnings.
