The assault on Omar Abd Rabou is the latest in a string of Hamas atrocities against Gazans, including on those trying to get aid, which critics argue are not receiving the coverage they deserve.
It should also be remembered that October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar earned his “Butcher of Khan Yunis” nickname not by his violence against Israelis, but against his fellow Gazans.
There is a bloody reason local coverage out of Gaza is so biased. Reporters don’t want to end up in body bags.
These attacks aren’t surprising. Matti Friedman worked for the AP more than a decade ago and saw this threat impact coverage on a regular basis.
