The Associated Press, Al Jazeera, and media advocacy groups are demanding answers after an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building with offices belonging to news outlets in Gaza on Saturday.
The Israeli Defense Forces said the building contained "Hamas military intelligence assets." The IDF accused Hamas of treating the journalists as "human shields." But the blowback was swift. "We demand that the Israeli government provide a detailed and documented justification for this military attack on a civilian facility given the possible violation of international humanitarian law," said Joel Simon, the executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, hours after the strike leveled Al Jala's building.More Related News
