    Not to justify them, but is it remotely possible their fear is that terrorists would likely label themselves as press in order to get close to targets?

      I guess, but you can’t do around killing random civilians on the assumption that they are all terrorists.

      If this was 2001 maybe. These days cameras from drones can count the grass leaves in a field.

      This is the same IDF terrorist group that shot Shireen Abu Akleh two years ago for no reason and then straight up lied they didn’t do it for half a year. And then they admitted they “might have done it” .
