A must watch video at the link.

WoW. The Israeli's imploded the building as if they were building detonation experts.

So sorry to see the Associated Press lose their vantage point. (sarc)

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike on Saturday targeted and destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City that housed offices of The Associated Press and other media outlets. Hours later, Israel bombed the home of Khalil al-Hayeh, a top leader of Gaza's ruling militant Hamas group.

The best part was destroying the offices of the Associated Press. What great news!

AP and Al Jihad will just have to find other space to write their propaganda.

You have to be pretty stupid to locate media outlets in same building with Hamas.

The way to stop Hamas and others from using journalists as human shields, is by making it clear that Israel will not care.

I hope with all my heart that Israel never ends up being backed against the proverbial wall, as this might be just the time when the real fireworks will begin and I wouldn’t be surprised if they would consider the use of nuclear weapons. I certainly would not blame them.

Why did they give AP the warning? They are journo- terrorists spewing disinformation.

Israel should have made the missile look like a scaled down 767.

How ironic that they are complaining about aircraft taking down buildings into a pile of rubble.

They should thank whatever god they serve that they were given warning and could evacuate.

It’s more than the muzzies did on 9/11.

Look at the gross distortion by the media in the video, on par with the New York Times “Trump Incites Mob”.

It states that “Israel Bombs Media”. There are lies and there are damn lies and that’s a damn lie. Israel didn’t attack the media at all; it attacked a building.

In fact, Israel gave the media and all occupants of the building one hour to get out.

Twisted AP article May.15.21 [https://www.npr.org/2021/05/15/997124491/israeli-airstrike-in-gaza-destroys-building-with-ap-bureau] visibly angry at IDF.

1. Drama and intentional confusion, demonizing humane IDF:

Quote from (angry) AP:
'The building also housed the offices of Qatari-run Al-Jazeera TV, as well as residential apartments. The Israeli military said it targeted the building because it contained assets of Hamas intelligence agencies, which it said were using media offices as "human shields." It did not provide evidence for the claims.'
End of quote.

Questions: A. Is the IDF obligated to (risk itself) reveal its intelligence tools, or methods? B. Why would supposedly objective AP use quotation marks on human shields. Is this a malicious attempt to rewrite Hamas routine tactics as a whole, pushing for narrative of two pro-Hamas authors' [ - one a former al-Jazeera guy (N.P.), another one (N.G.) hugging Arafat in the Middle of 2002 Intifadah butchery] "book"? This is a random recent example, from this same day:
Magellan fighters attacked a Hamas anti-tank launcher located in a residential building. Date: 13/05/2021
*

In fact, when was it that anti-Israel terrorists stopped using its own population as human shields, since Arafat in Lebanon in 1982, through Intifadas (most notable: Dec.2000 letter by Arab women on use of kids as "cannon fodders"; the letter by US doctors; 2001; 2002 at IDF eliminating Jihadists; Jenin-2002 - which is shy the IDF went door to door; 2006 Beit-Hanoun; 2008-2009; 2014 war; 2017-2021; at times Hamas even admitting of the tactics, not to mention their use of ambulances as well), or Hezbollah use (most notably using Christian villages and UN in 2006 and civilians in 2018-19)?

2. Despite the bombing of building in Gaza actually coming an hour after warning to evacuate, which the media staff did, having plenty of time to do that, instead it's blurring this highly important part by drama.

3. It wrongly reported on beginning of tension omitting vital part:

The violence started in April actually with Arab racist attacks on pious Jews who mostly do not serve in the Israeli army.

___________
The IDF said the building housed Hamas intelligence, which was using the foreign media outlets operating out of it as cover.
The strike came nearly an hour after the military ordered people to evacuate the building, which also housed Al Jazeera, other offices and residential apartments.
*
The wave of violence in Jerusalem began on April 15, when a young Arab man from Jerusalem uploaded to Tiktuk his documentation of a powerful slap in the face, so to speak, to an ultra-Orthodox boy on the light rail.
The trend soon spread and many young Arabs began to upload countless videos in which they were seen attacking police officers, humiliating ultra-Orthodox passers-by and beating them with severe violence.
