Military officials tell Hebrew-language media outlets that an Israeli army tank team shelled a camera stationed at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis earlier today after believing the device was being used to track troops.
Two shells were fired by the tank, with the first targeting the camera and the second hitting rescuers who were operating at the scene. The strike killed 20, including five journalists, according to media reports and Hamas health officials.
Reuters and other news providers often deliver live video feeds to media outlets worldwide during major news events to show the scene from the ground in real time. A review of Masri’s live feed from before the strike did not appear to show any soldiers.
Why do they always respond by shooting a disproportionately obscene ballistic at things like this camera, instead of just disabling/taking the camera? The target is at a hospital, why are they shooting at a single camera with a tank? And two shells?? For a camera?
I know why, but could some country that gives at least 1 fuck just put troops at the hospitals/aid camps? Offer to run security at these facilities and let the IDF worry about finding Hamas, instead of scary cameras.
I’d love to see our troops do that rather than harassing houseless individuals, or just walking around like Stormtroopers. I know it’s a pipe dream anyone does anything though. 😩
If you want the Samson option thrown around then maybe. But also mostly because everyone knows they won’t hesitate to fire on ally soldiers. They take potshots at UN Peacekeepers every chance they get. They live firmly in the belief that the only lives that matter are Israeli lives.
