TWO reports dropping nearly simultaneously from SAME reporter in #Beirut to DOUBLE the probability that the #cherryPicked propaganda will be seen. I should’ve added #DUPLICITOUS [sic, English is not my first language] to “inconsistent, contradictory, and biased messages” above 😂

“In no case was there an obvious military target…” Later in the piece, “Even if a military target was identified, #Amnesty said, it “was reckless and therefore amounts to a war crime” ➡️ https://apnews.com/article/gaza-palestinians-families-deaths-israeli-strikes-79f2cb7f3b04c512092f59f327443732

The war in Gaza is wiping out entire Palestinian families, one branch at a time. This is how

Dozens of families have lost 25 or more of their members in Israeli strikes in the first three months of the Gaza war. AP identified 60 families and analyzed 10 strikes that were among the deadliest between October and December. To look at how these families were killed, sometimes four generations in the same strike, AP analyzed 10 strikes across the Gaza Strip between October and December that killed over 500 people. Talking to analysts, witnesses and verifying available online visuals, AP found the strikes hit residential buildings and shelters with families inside. In no case was there an obvious military target or direct warning to those inside, and in one case the family said they had raised a white flag on their building.

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.
