Israel is the most cowardly genocidal terrorist state that hunts journalists and assassinates them for the whole world to see how afraid they are from the truth because who would strike a journalist's tent in the dead of the night killing everyone inside it other than the most monstrous and depraved? They have warned Anas and Mohamed to stop their reporting and put a literal target on their backs. When these two continued to report on this genocide, Israel killed them like it did the 200+ journalists during the past 20 months alone. I can't process much of this, and I can't stop thinking of their children.
