Israeli army says

Downvote this propaganda.

Realistically, there are only two parties that can report this, Hamas/ Iran and Israel.

So, who do you believe in to get the news about the current events related to this war?

Realistically, Israel could permit third party journalists and investigators back into the conflict zone.

Letting anyone inside a war zone is a very bad idea. This is why war zones called war zones. Anyone inside a war zone is in an official life danger.

Very true, I'm certain those who go into war zones are aware of the dangers posed to them. Keeping conflict journalists out despite their knowledge of and willingness to brave those dangers is suspect.

And it totally has nothing to do with the huge # of third party journalists that have been killed by the IDF already despite incredibly clear press markings. It's almost like the IDF wants the ability to control the narrative or something...

You act like war reporting doesn't have a rich history. This isn't a new concept.

Only one county in the past ~50 years or so has become known for targeting clearly-delineated journalists in war zones.

Well maybe two since the US did it at least once in Afghanistan. But once isn't a pattern.
