A pair of overlapping reports bylined by the same @AP reporter from Beirut #cherryPicks 60 families to weave together a photomontage with inconsistent, contradictory, and biased messages, uncritically regurgitating reports from #Hamas #HealthMinistry, but skeptical of #Israel:
“It is not clear whether the count includes men like al-Agha, who worked in one of the hundreds of Hamas-linked organizations” ➡️ https://apnews.com/article/gaza-palestinians-families-israel-war-deaths-a9f8bcfe402c17f1f78903eae67b7a7d

The war in Gaza has wiped out entire Palestinian families. AP documents 60 who lost dozens or more
Israeli airstrikes are eradicating entire Palestinian families in Gaza, sometimes generations at a time, to a degree never seen before in previous conflicts there. An Associated Press investigation identified at least 60 Palestinian families where at least 25 people were killed between October and December. Several families have almost no one left to document the toll. It was the deadliest and most destructive period of the war. Israel says it takes measures to mitigate against civilian deaths. The International Court of Justice is considering whether Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The killing of families across generations is a key part of the case.
