In the lede, the concluding-sentence goes:

The event generated significant controversy, as the building contained offices for news agencies Associated Press (AP) and Al Jazeera.

. Also, the very first sentence of the "Destruction" section goes:

On 15 May the IDF targeted the al-Jalaa Building in Gaza, among the occupants of which were Al Jazeera and the Associated Press.[1][2][3][4]

Both should instead read ‘...Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other news outlets...’ & ‘...which were Al Jazeera, Associated Press and other news outlets..’; per

this, this & this, and multiple confirmations from statements which confirm that it was the Al Jazeera network's Gaza bureau as a whole, and not simply the one of its flagship Standard Arabic-channel, as I understand it's the common practice to refer to that article whenever any broad-reference to the network is made across this site. This ought to stop. The Agence France-Presse's own workers even "mentioned" Al Jazeera English's "handle" on Twitter when announcing their decision of offering shelter to the affected journalists.

Optional fix: The term “...they're..” in

Despite saying they're in possession of proof for their allegations,

phrase should read in full.

Destruction of al-Jalaa BuildingDestruction of the al-Jalaa Building – The usual grammatical convention would be to say "the al-Jalaa Building", and this can be seen in multiple sources. — The Anome (talk) 09:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC) — The Anome (talk) 09:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. The Night Watch (talk) 21:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
