In a statement, the Israeli military says it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such".

I guess they were targeting supposed Hamas operatives being treated in an operating room. It's too bad that five journalists were there. They are very sorry that journalists' bodies got in the way of the bomb.

they spotted some kind of optics following troops. hamas teams frequently have cameramen to film hits or remote controlled cameras in general for surveillance. also sniper rifle reflections and camera optics reflections at large distance looks similiar.

edit: few days ago they identified somebody who put camera on external stairs of hospital near roof and followed troops. troops got attacked a few times. they asked for approval to take whoever it is down. approval was given but it was conditioned to use "light munition" to prevent too much damage. from some reason was used heavier munition. currently they investigate why orders weren't followed.

Those "mistakes" and insubordinations are somehow _very_ convenient for Israel's agenda.

Apparently one strike isn't enough for the army that can perform point strikes against scientists in Iran, they "fumble" and bomb a hospital, then do it again and bomb the people who rush in to help.

The last witnesses who are able to expose the extent of unimaginable cruelty are being threatened, targeted and killed off.

Israel literally bombed a hospital then double tap killed the rescue crew and the journalists covering the original war crime, and it's all on video for anyone to see.

The military, which said its troops carried out a strike in the area of Nasser Hospital, said it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such.” Israeli media reported that Israeli troops fired two artillery shells at the hospital, targeting a Hamas surveillance camera on the roof.

Yes, a blatant war crime.

and does not target journalists as such

A palid lie, as anyone with access to the data knows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_...

The only other way that many journalists could die in one war is if there was a genocide taking place.

The IDF terror apologists are trying hard to defend the indefensible. I notice them brigading every thread that discusses their war crimes.
