An Israeli army tank killed Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah and injured six other journalists in Lebanon while they were filming cross-border shelling on Oct. 13, a Reuters investigation has found.

Israel is actively eliminating any possibility of Palestine existing period. As the world sits and watches while the US blocks any effort by the UN.
Two quips come to mind:
-
Somehow Hamas has killed fewer journalists. Israel has yet to learn how to not point a gun and shoot wherever they’d like.
-
If Israel’s defensive forces spent as much effort to protect Israel as they do to kill journalists, maybe they could’ve stopped the attack from Hamas in the first place.
International humanitarian law bars attacks on journalists as those in the news media have the full scope of protection granted to civilians and cannot be considered military targets.
Well, we all know how the IOF feels about civilians, so…
Keep in mind, Israel is doing this for revenge. If this was for defense, then they would improve their defenses.
The suffering is the point.
Lol. Israel has the most sophisticated anti-missile defense system in the history of Earth. How much more defense do you think they need?
Sometimes the defensive position is going on the offensive. You can’t expect the army to just cower and wait to be hit, right?
Even if you look at “revenge” it doesn’t make sense. This is like a psycho found a justification to commit massacres. The way videos shows IDF playing, dancing, laughing, and letting non military people bomb houses tells you this is not a revenge…
Exactly. Their behavior is just wanton violence and venting, there’s no actual purpose. The attack by Hamas was tragic, and Israel has every right to go after them, but they don’t have the right to drop bombs and shoot randomly in the general vicinity of where maybe Hamas could potentially be.
This isn’t what an operation to root out and destroy terrorists like like. This also isn’t what revenge looks like. This is killing oppressed people for no reason other than they can, apparently. Perhaps the IDF should spend more time defending Israel, as their name suggests, and not fuck around. They found out with the Hamas attack, and they’re just going right back to fucking around.
Can’t wait for sanctions against Israel…
