The reporting on this war has certainly made media bias evident. Some media just do not report certain stories at all theguardian is a but one example ....

Hamas people do not look starved. Other videos. over the last several days, do not show people looking starved Gaza people said to be returning to Gaza do not looked starved?

Have been several media articles about supposedly starved children and later its found they have some other condition

Also saw an article about how Hamas used the arm band method... the article claimed was a non standard method and had been shown to be not as reliable as other starvation methods. Maybe there is pockets of stavevation?

Obviously both sides would NOT release items, not favourable to themselves.

Then there is also media self censoring - like media that consistently only publishes stuff favourable to one sided. And a weaker form that I would cause media bias. Israel/Hamas/Gaza people/ Palestine people would all be participating in media manipulation / blocking. Its naive not to realize this. There is a saying , something like this ..... "...In war the first causality is truth ..." Also friendly fire deaths and mistakes are not unusual in warfare.

I always remember the 2010 "so called collateral MURDER " FROM wikileaks, incident, the gunner thought the reporters telephoto lens was a rocket launcher, when viewing from a few KM away ...

The hostage mentions in the article how he was moved to be used as a "human shield " by Hamas...

RE

'...time they killed the medics ...."

Id observe ...Lots mistakes made in war / fighting. Also Consider friendly fire killing their own solders situations.

Google of the phrase "...lots mistakes are made n war..." gives numerous mistakes made in past warfare.

How do you know these links are truthful ? The reality is you ( and I ) do not. In my opinion BOTH sides would be doing these bad things.

Hamas booby traps would be killing Gaza people even without the Israel solders around.

How do you know how many terrorists are there ? or why they target a building?

RE :... nor guarantee safety to non-state media....." Local Gaza people acting as media would need to be partially careful. Such people would have their location tracked , their associates tracked ......

RE "..... would not be aware of technology capabilities used to track opposing fighters...." There would be techniques used to determine location of Hamas fighters , therefore making that location a military target.

Hamas uses Gaza civilians as human shields

RE "....a post on HN about a decade ago ...." I tried to find (search ) this post but could not...

RE....." To what extent is the war in Gaza justified "

Hamas has stated they want to kill all in Israel.

Never see discussion of Hamas hiding in/under hospitals schools etc Hamas sacrificing Gaza people as these assets are attacked - since their military used makes them valid military targets according to laws warfare.

Never see it mentioned how many deceased Hamas fighters are included in Gaza death toll from Gaza Health Ministry. Estimated to be 25,000

BOTH sides would be putting out propaganda.

Just Saying - Media reporters on both sides ( even ones on the ground there ) would not be aware of technology capabilities used to track opposing fighters. These technology capabilities would not be released , although they are sometimes hinted at....
