#PressFreedom / Why did IDF assassinate Journalists Hamza Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya? 3 different versions within 4 days tried to hide the obvious truth
IDF doesn't know who they're targeting. They kill and then make up a story about "terrorists". But targeting journalists, clearly marked as such, seem to be a priority. Israel is also among the top jailers of journalists worldwide, as acknowledged by CPJ recently. https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/111806150045046433
Israel gave several shifting explanations for the killing al-Dahdouh and Turiya:
Initial IDF statement was that they were killed while accompanying a "terrorist" who was operating a drone that threatened Israeli forces.
Later, an IDF spokesperson statement was that they were using a drone in a war zone which is problematic, but it is unfortunate they were killed.
Even later, the IDF statement changed again, this time claiming that "intelligence" shows the two were active members of #Hamas and Palestinian #IslamicJihad, who had just operated drones threatening Israeli forces before being targeted.
This tortured interview with #Hasbara operative Eylon Levy leaves no room for doubt. Israel is lying and has been lying to international media about almost everything they agree to comment on in respect to the arbitrary killing of Gazans.
