Hamas and israeli backed gangs

Reports circulating on social media – difficult to independently verify – claim that more than 11 Hamas members were killed, with some of their bodies dragged through the streets.

I hate this so much: why would Palestinian journalism be more “difficult to independently verify” than Israeli journalism?

Yeah, I need a better article about this incident.

BBC has experienced journalists inside Israel. They aren’t allowed into Gaza.

The BBC has asked to be allowed inside Gaza, but Israel refused:

They are forced to rely on social media and free lancers.

It's a war zone. Independent verification doesn't depend on the news outlet being verified. It's access by the outlet doing the verification.

Really wish we could see more footage of conflicts like these.
