We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

I'm guessing Hamas operatives were hiding inside them.

/s

I'm super curious how the Israeli propagandist crowd here is going to try to justify this one.

Good question, while we're at it, could they also explain why they shot a janitor and bin collector?

“[My family] are reporting white phosphorous and gunfire into their compound,” she said. “The bin collector and the janitor have been shot and their bodies are laying outside and remain uncollected.”

Did they have Hamas bombs in the garbage bags? 🤔 Maybe they were smuggling weapons in the organic waste bin?

It's all Hamas's fault for making Israel do that, or at least that was the Israeli supporter's line yesterday.

Unless video emerges of Israelis actually firing the guns. Which has happened in other scenarios. I think the standard hasbara strategy will be just to say Hamas shot these people to make Israel look bad - false flag

Most people will say almost every major headline you see pushed has never been verified. It doesn't help that Israel isn't letting anyone verify and that it's too dangerous for independent journalists to try to get into Gaza themselves.

CNN cannot independently verify the conditions in and around the church, nor the allegation of the use of incendiary munitions (which can be illegal in some circumstances).

This is a developing story and will be updated.
