He informed AP, which calls for questioning the Israeli attack on Gaza Hospital last week, killing 5 journalists

The reports of the Associated Press reports about an Israeli attack on the Gaza Hospital last week, killing 22 people, including five journalists, are serious questions about the logical basis of Israel for strikes and the way it was implemented.

Among those who were killed in August 25 attack Mariam Daga, 33, who worked for AP and other news organizations.

Israeli forces set a stand known as the gathering point for reporters, because – a military official – they believe that a surface camera was using Hamas to monitor the forces.

The official was martyred “suspicious behavior” and the unspecified intelligence, but the only details that were provided are the presence of a towel on the camera and the person who explains it as an attempt to avoid identifying identity.

AP collected new evidence indicating that the relevant camera actually belongs to a Reuters video journalist who routinely covered his devices with a white cloth to protect it from hot sun and dust. The journalist, Hautemam Al -Masry, was killed in the initial strike.

Evidence is that the Israeli forces have passed. Witnesses say that Israel has repeatedly noticed the parking lots of drones, including about 40 minutes of the attack, providing an opportunity to properly identify the Masry.

In total, Israel struck the hospital four times, and I found AP, every time without warning.

The Israeli army refused to comment when asked whether the person was hitting the wrong and did not provide any evidence of his claims.

The army says it is still investigating, but in its initial investigation, he described “gaps” in how the attack was carried out. Israel said that none of the journalists who killed intended targets and was not enthusiastic.

AP analysis is based on information from current, former Israeli military officials, other officials and arms analysts – as well as accounts of nearly 20 people who were in the hospital or near it at the time of strikes.

The attack motivated global anger, as Israeli forces drive a major attack in Gaza City, which exposes its residents to a greater danger than the Israeli bombing and military operations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described him as a “tragic accident”, but he stopped apologizing.

Cover camera with a cloth

Before the attack, a Reuters, Al -Masry journalist, was placed with his video camera on an external stairs from Nasser Hospital. A picture taken by Dagga appears in mid -August, the same stairs next to his camera, with a white cloth wrapped over it.

In the weeks before the strikes, Al -Masry was almost directly broadcasting daily from the stairs, according to other journalists who worked there and hospital officials. Five AP reporters told that the fabric is often used. One of the common practices of video newspapers worldwide, including in Gaza, is the use of such high situations and the coverage of their cameras to protect them from the elements.

Nasser Hospital, one of the few hospitals in Gaza, was a vital site for Palestinian correspondents.

It is an essential point for reporting the dead and wounded from Israeli strikes, and shooting from Palestinians looking for aid and on people with malnutrition daily. The Wi-Fi signal provided a reliable and reliable link to send the news.

Photographers and video photographers used the building’s external stairs for several months to get a view to Khan Yunis-and in the case of international news agencies such as Reuters and AP, to provide live video footage to news rooms around the world. AP has repeatedly informed the army that the journalists were stationed there.

One of the Israeli military officials said that several days before the attack, Israeli forces monitored a surface camera and were following “suspicious behavior”, which he did not specify.

The official, who spoke on the condition that his identity was not disclosed, said that the army believed that Hamas was using the camera to monitor its forces and said that the camera and the man operating have what they described as a towel raised on it, which indicates an effort to conceal.

No evidence was killed by any armed person

Another person was killed in the strike that struck the masters. Hospital officials have identified all 22 dead, saying they are a mixture of health and rescue workers, journalists and patients.

But they said they could not be sure of anyone else who was killed in the first strike, as all bodies were collected at the same time.

There was no evidence of a second camera on the site where the Masseri was killed.

Almost at the same time, it hit the first stairs, Israel hit another part of the hospital, according to the witnesses and video clips that show the smoke that rises from the site.

Israel struck hospitals and journalists on frequent occasions throughout the war. Both are supposed to be protected by international law, but hospitals can lose this protection if they are used for military purposes, and journalists can also, if they are armed or participate in hostilities.

Israel accused Hamas of working in or around hospitals, but it provided limited evidence. During the war, Hamas security men were often seen inside hospitals, preventing access to some facilities.

Based on the analysis of the footage at the time of the attack, speaking to multiple eyewitnesses, there is no evidence that anyone killed in the strikes was armed.

Double

The Israeli army did not provide any explanation for the reason for making a second round of strikes.

After the first attack, a crowd of paramedics, journalists, and others made their way to the external stairs.

The first respondents and other civilians are often exposed to dual clicks attacks, which have struck the crowds that move to areas to save the victims from the initial strikes.

Israel, the retired general, who once led an Israeli army operations, said that the double -clicking strike would violate the rules of the army’s participation.

Rayed Al -Nim, head of the Palestinian Red Crescent Media Department in Gaza, said that the double strikes “occurred several times” in the war, hitting ambulances and employees in the group after they arrived at the site of the attacks.

Israel refused to comment, noting the ongoing investigation.

The tank fire was not supposed to be used

AP analyzed videos of the attack and found that Israel fired tank shells in the strikes – which the Israeli army confirmed after its initial investigation.

Zif said that the options are less deadly and more accurate than the tank fire were available.

“There is no good explanation for that,” he said.

An official informed of the attack said the tank was not supposed to have been used, but he was unable to determine what the original plans were. The official spoke to the AP, provided that his identity is not disclosed to discuss the ongoing investigation.

An ammunition expert analyzed the pictures of shrapnel from the hospital that AP obtained that it came from highly separated shells from the tank.

NR Jenzen-Jones, an Australian consultant company, said.

Satellite images appear from the afternoon of the strike on the strike on the strike on the Israeli tanks and armored vehicles operating about 4.5 km northeast of the hospital.

The same brigade, who carried out these strikes, Al -Jolani Brigade, participated in the shooting of an ambulance convoy in southern Gaza in that 15 Palestinian paramedics were killed. A preliminary investigation of this attack by the Israeli forces found a series of “professional failures”, and a deputy commander was launched.

The contradictions about the Israeli claims from the militants

After a day of strikes, Israel gave the names of six men who said they were killers of militants who were killed in the attack. But this statement sparked disturbing variations.

There was no evidence, and no single man appeared in his list, Omar Camille, a testimony of Abu Tim, in the list of losses in the hospital that AP obtained. Doctors and morgue workers said that no one was killed by this name, and unlike the other five, Israel did not provide a picture.

Another person named, Jumaa Al-Najjar, was a health care worker working in Nasser Hospital, according to the morgue list. Another, Ayed Al -Shir, was a driver for respondents in the civil defense in Gaza.

The other three names appear in the list of the injured, but no other details are available immediately.

Israel also did not say whether any of the six were killed in its initial strike on the camera. Most of them were killed in the second round of strikes, and officials did not say whether they were identified between the crowd on the stairs before the forces collided with it.

The Israeli fire killed 189 Palestinian reporters in Gaza, according to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists.

In the past, Israel has recognized the targeting and killing of journalists who accuse them of being fighters, and claimed by them and their owners. The army says it is trying to avoid harm to civilians and blame their death on Hamas because it works in the densely populated areas.
