Al Jazeera is condemning threats by the Israeli army against the family of its Gaza correspondent Youmna ElSayed. On Monday, ElSayed’s husband received a call from Israeli forces warning family members to immediately leave their home or be killed in a bombardment. The threat comes just days after an Israeli strike killed 12 family members of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, including his two children and grandson. Al Jazeera said in a statement, “Israel’s actions continue with impunity as they attempt to silence the messenger.” Democracy Now! spoke to Youmna ElSayed last week. Youmna ElSayed: “Homes were targeted. Hospitals were targeted. In these same areas that people were asked to evacuate, hundreds of families who had evacuated from the north and from Gaza City were killed in those bombings. When we say there is no safe place in Gaza, we’re not lying.”
Wow i cant believe they were housing hamas in their apartment
Just regular ol’ terrorist behavior. Like, literally the definition of terrorism.
Why wont the IDF warn people? Failing to warn civilians is genocide
IDF warns civilians
OMG the IDF is threatening journalists!
Actually, warning civilians you’re going to bomb their families and turn their farmland to rubble, then slowly condense the remaining population into concentration camps for decades until they can finally be wiped out under protection of the US and EU is still a genocide.
Cutting supplies first, bombing places and making transportation harder, THEN ordering mass evacuation isn’t exactly the kind of thing “good guys” do. Not to mention that these people can only move some 30km south before being met with a wall
It’s pretty incredible that the IDF calls and gives warnings first so she and her family can get out of there, but sucks that she’s going to lose her home.
It’s pretty incredible that the idf didnt call and give warnings to the thousands of palestianian children already slaughtered,even after being forced from their homes.
No it isnt. Thats completely credible.
Im genuinely shocked they warned a single victim.
They frequently warn people by only blowing their shit up a little bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_knocking
They not only called, they also dropped leaflets and text blasts to common telegram groups
What if I told you that they did. Those people simply either chose not to leave or were threatened by Hamas not to do so.
What if i told you that when today the idf slaughtered civilians today at a refuge centre,which they admited they did,a warning wasnt given.
