Israel’s strategies are plain to see. Smear and justify the killing of the press, aid workers, medical professionals, and academics. In Israel, they arrest their critics while elsewhere they target them in any way possible. Israel is at war with the world not just Gaza

Israeli smears

The dangers faced by Gaza’s visual journalists has been amplified by Israeli efforts to legitimise targeting them, analysts say. In November, the Israeli government alleged that several freelance photographers in Gaza who worked for major international media organisations had participated in the October 7 attacks by Hamas on southern Israel, in which nearly 1,139 people were killed and 240 taken captive. The media organisations rejected the allegations.
