    What does this article prove? It shows a guy holding something obscured by a red outline and someone else in different clothing holding a rug then standing next to a tree. This is supposed to be proof of something? If this came from a video then let’s see the video.

      It proves an evidence that Hamas are disguising themselves as civilians, hence danger civilians to be tagged as possible targets.

      The full video is in the article, please read the article and watch the video before concluding the post.

    It’s the Sun. They’re not trying to be journalists.

    For one thing, nobody who attacks a tank is a coward. That takes fortitude. Because you’re probably going to die. So throwing untrue insults around in the article, is the furthest thing from journalism that you can get

      Lol yeah, the guy fighting a tank in home territory with no body armor and an RPG is a coward, not the guys in the tanks and aircrafts. Those are brave soldiers. 😂

        Attacking armor in the occupied city you live in is a hall mark of any modern resistance movement, it’s a good way to get killed - so whatever their motivations are, it’s not cowardace

      I don’t agree it’s fortitude, and this article explains exactly the situation.

    Ooh, Rupert Murdoch trash again! Media bias / fact check for The Sun:

    Overall, we rate The Sun Right Biased based on story selection and political affiliation that favors the right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to overly sensationalized headlines and numerous failed fact checks.

    However, they also include this lovely comment in their analysis section:

    In review, The Sun is a classic trashy tabloid that features celebrity gossip, current events, and right-leaning news stories. There is significant use of sensational loaded headlines […]. The paper generally publishes sensationalized, misleading stories with a right-wing bias. Further, a Reuters institute survey found that 13% of respondents trust their news coverage and 64% do not, ranking them last in trust of the major UK news providers.

    I don’t think Hamas has an official uniform. I’ll note that, when Hamas wore regular camo,

    Israel’s i24 News and The Sun in the U.K. claimed that “the terrorists wore our uniforms” and “sick Hamas terrorists used IDF uniform disguise.” source

    And now that they have someone in Hamas not wearing camo (I don’t know, does Gaza even have a working laundry at this point), both the Israeli media and The Sun immediately switch to

    Hamas using the civilian population as human shields. Dressed in jeans and a casual grey shirt to look like a civilian

    So basically they’re saying it doesn’t matter how Hamas dresses, whatever they wear is an evil deceitful attempt to mislead the pure upstanding Israelis.

    Since this is Hama territory, this is a guerrilla war so the invaders need to accept their targets may not always be in uniform.
