> As I said there are zero journalists in Gaza. This presumes independent reporting and Hamas does not allow it. Any journalist that reports something they don't like gets a beating, and if they persist, they're killed.
Would like to learn more about this. Are there reports of this? Has Hamas issued a statement?
Completely clamping down on independent photo/videography is very difficult, even in a place like Gaza.

If you have gunmen roaming the streets with machine guns, allowed to shoot anyone of the "normal" people, and they constantly ask for inspecting people's phones ... then it's not very difficult. They regularly fire into crowds, for all sorts of reasons. Especially if about 20% of the population is part of that force roaming the streets with machine guns. There's 3 possible jobs you can have in Gaza: construction worker in Israel, Hamas or independent (baker, plumber, ...) Hamas keeps far tighter control of their population than the USSR ever did.
- Pfhortune 2y agoThese are significant allegations, but without any documentation of them I have a hard time believing they can be true. Firing weapons into crowds of people is a messy prospect that would attract significant attention no matter the perpetrator.
