Film crew targeted?

edit

Nowhere other than this Wikipedia article does it say the film crew was targeted with no references or citations either. Seems like misinformation or opinions. 24.124.82.187 (talk) 21:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

This article is written based on plenty of references. You could read them yourself!
  • The Washington Post → "Al Jazeera said that it “holds Israel accountable for systematically targeting and killing Al Jazeera journalists and their families” and urged the international community to hold Israel accountable." ... "“This is a massacre for journalism and journalists working on the ground,” said Suruq As’ad, a spokeswoman of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate based in the West Bank. “They are all locals. They are targeted and their surroundings are targeted: loved ones, their neighborhoods, their cities, their friends, their offices and they go on to do their jobs as reporters, as camera people, as correspondents.”"
  • Associated Press → "Palestinian U.N. Ambassador Riyad Mansour told a General Assembly meeting on the war that Israel “targets those who could document (their) crimes and inform the world, the journalists.” “We mourn one of those journalists, Samer Abu Daqqa, wounded in an Israeli drone strike and left to bleed to death for 6 hours while ambulances were prevented from reaching him,” Mansour said." --87.170.196.81 (talk) 07:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
    So a Fatah operative, a Hamas-aligned media outlet, and an organization based in Fatah territory. Doesn't seem very reliable to me. The article should definitely attribute all of those claims. JM (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
