Israel should have blocked leftist media from Gaza. Level the place and destroy Hamas, find hostages if found. Only then allow the leftist media in. Then rinse and repeat action before they can get out.
Psst - leftist media emit signals when they submit their stories. These signals can be tracked; hell, their locations can be found through photo and video analysis alone if they don’t have direct signals to track. If they are embedded with Hamas formations, that tells Israel where to send ‘the good news.’
In other words, leftist media provide a “please bomb here” cue for Israel. Why would you want to stop that from happening???
