    He’d be dead if the missile hadn’t hit exactly in the previous hole made by another missile on that bridge he was standing on

      Ohh… it’s a bridge! I was wondering what they had against that one particular patch of road.

      These camera man and the reporter lived, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about life long injuries. Shrapnel, concussive forces. Not something I’d want to be around.

    And straight into already bombed hole. Bastards were probably presuming the reporter was helping someone and tried to “double tap.”

      Whenever you see a rocket landing next to a civilian and you feel regret that it missed, that’s a sign it’s time for some self-reflection. 😄

        That civilian works for and perpetuates an organization complicit in so many outright lies. They are part of the problem.

          I understand that but the Israelis say the same thing as they’re killing Lebanese, Palestinian, etc. journalists in the region.

          Tbh, after observing everything that’s happened since the start of the war in Ukraine, then Gaza, now Iran, I’ve come around to the conclusion that all dehumanization is counterproductive. It leads to too many errors in judgement and excess death even on “our” side as we preclude ourselves from taking off-ramps.

    Never understood the desire to send live reporters into hostile territory. What does reporting live accomplish other than random deaths? Send a robot if you need footage.

      Consider how our opinions would have been shaped if there was no reporting from inside Gaza and all the info we got was from IDF or IDF-approved reporting from Israel. The purpose of sending live reporters in hostile territory is to avoid that outcome.

      Journalism. It’s not just about footage, it’s about finding out what’s going on.

      How else are they supposed to know what is happening there? Just read it on the internet? Think about that for a second.
