More horrific scenes as the occupation continues to ramp up its daily atrocities
Israel targeted a tent being used as a base by Palestinian journalists next to the Nasser hospital last night, burning to death Hilmi al-Faqaawi and Ahmad Mansour. Video footage showed Mansour moving as he burned, in a scene horrifyingly reminiscent of the murder of Shaban al-Dalou last October when family tents next to the al-Aqsa hospital were bombed:
Their colleague Ahmad al-Attar was wounded, but survived. He was filmed calling his mother to try to reassure her:
Journalist Hassan Esslayeh sustained a skull fracture, lost fingers and suffered a leg injury. Others, including Ahmad Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayeq, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qudeih, and Ali Esslayeh, were all wounded with ‘moderate to serious’ injuries.
The journalists’ tent was clearly marked, but Israel continued its policy of murdering journalists in its drive to hide its crimes in Gaza by preventing the reporting that has exposed its genocide and crimes against humanity. The occupation has murdered more journalists in Gaza than died in the whole of World Wars I and II, Vietnam, Cambodia, ex-Yugoslavia, Iraq and a host of other wars combined. Western ‘mainstream’ media journalists continue to ignore the slaughter of their Palestinian colleagues.
Update: Ahmad Mansour has died of his terrible injuries and the article has been updated to reflect that.

And so it carries on brutally are they the lambs have become the monsters
I believe they are the monsters who claim to have been lambs for centuries (and still do) ….
Re the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights’ dossier handed to the Met Police counter terrorism team, the ten evidenced cases of UK nationals involved in war crimes is “just the tip of the iceberg” with 100 British people having served in the IDF since the start of the Gaza war.
Over the last 14 DAYS alone it’s reported that another 1,063 people have been indiscriminately killed by Israel.
Thanks Skwawkbox for reporting this and how the Met Police deals with the dossier and eventually responds.
