"Israeli Tank Fire Claims Life of Reuters Journalist in Lebanon"
A Reuters investigation, along with reports from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, has concluded that an Israeli tank round killed Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah near the Lebanese border in October. The investigation found that Israeli forces either knew or should have known they were targeting journalists. This marks the first public investigative findings of a journalist's killing in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which has been one of the deadliest for media in recent history. The Israeli military has not yet issued any findings and has repeatedly denied targeting journalists.

Inside the Al-Shifa Hospital Tunnel: CNN's Eye-Opening Exploration
CNN visited the exposed tunnel shaft near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, which the IDF believes is part of a larger network of tunnels. The tunnel shaft is significant in size and extends approximately 10 meters down, leading to a concrete tunnel that runs for 55 meters. The IDF plans to demolish the underground facility. The discovery provides compelling evidence of the existence of tunnels below the hospital, although it does not definitively prove the presence of a command center. Israel's ability to prove the existence of these tunnels is crucial for its ongoing military operations and to counter international criticism, while Hamas and health officials deny their existence.
Unraveling the Truth: Israeli Army's Explanation for al-Shifa Hospital Video Discrepancies
The Israeli army has yet to explain why it deleted and reposted an edited version of a video alleging that Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital was used as a Hamas control and command center. Inconsistencies in the video, including edited footage and misrepresented items, have raised questions about the Israeli army's claims. Television footage from BBC and Fox News also revealed alterations to the scene at the hospital. The Israeli military denies manipulating the scene but has not provided a satisfactory explanation for the discrepancies. The alleged evidence falls short of confirming the army's claim of a Hamas headquarters in the hospital.
"RSF Video Investigation Reveals Targeted Attack on Reuters Reporter in Lebanon"
A video investigation by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) into the death of Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah in Lebanon reveals that the journalists' vehicle was explicitly targeted. Two strikes, 37 to 38 seconds apart, hit the spot where seven journalists were standing, killing Abdallah and injuring others. RSF's ballistic analysis indicates that the shots came from the east, from the direction of the Israeli border. The journalists were clearly identified as press, wearing helmets and bullet-proof vests marked "press," and their car was also marked as such. This incident follows a similar attack on Al Jazeera journalists five days earlier. RSF continues its investigation.
Unraveling the Gaza Hospital Blast: Urgent ICC Investigation Needed
Investigations into the deadly explosion at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza have revealed conflicting narratives and limited evidence. Independent analysis of audio and visual evidence suggests that the rocket responsible for the blast may have been fired from the northeast, contradicting Israel's claim that it came from the southwest. The New York Times also found inconsistencies in a video presented by Israeli officials as evidence. The exact number of casualties remains unclear, and calls for an independent investigation have been made by foreign leaders and the United Nations.
Examining the Evidence: U.S. Intelligence Clears Israel in Gaza Hospital Blast
A detailed visual analysis by The New York Times casts doubt on the widely cited video evidence that an errant Palestinian rocket caused the deadly explosion at Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City. The Times concludes that the missile seen in the video actually detonated in the sky roughly two miles away and is unrelated to the hospital blast. The analysis does not determine the cause of the explosion or who is responsible, but it complicates the straightforward narrative put forth by Israeli officials. The death toll and responsibility for the blast remain contested, as both Israeli officials and Palestinian militants blame each other.
Unraveling the Mystery: The Gaza Hospital Blast and Its Consequences
The blast at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds, continues to be a subject of debate. Experts doubt that the publicly available evidence will be sufficient to determine who was responsible for the incident. While Hamas claims it was an Israeli airstrike, visual evidence does not support this, and physical evidence that would normally be present at the site has not been found. The Israeli account of a failed rocket also faces challenges, as analysis of audio suggests the object fell from the east, not the west as claimed. A comprehensive explanation for the blast will require further investigation.
"Forensic Analysis Points to Rocket, Not Israeli Airstrike, as Cause of Gaza Hospital Blast: CNN Investigation"
Forensic analysis of images and videos suggests that a rocket launched from within Gaza broke up midair and caused the blast at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, contradicting claims by Palestinian militants and the Israeli government that an Israeli airstrike was responsible. Weapons and explosive experts believe this to be the most likely scenario, although the absence of munition remnants or shrapnel at the scene makes it difficult to be certain. The investigation highlights the challenges of remote analysis and the difficulty of sorting fact from fiction in the midst of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
"AP Visual Analysis Reveals Probable Cause of Gaza Hospital Explosion"
An analysis by The Associated Press (AP) of videos, satellite imagery, and photos suggests that a rocket fired from within Palestinian territory in Gaza veered off course and broke up in the air before crashing into Gaza's al-Ahli Arab Hospital, causing a deadly explosion. While there is no definitive proof linking the rocket's break-up and the hospital explosion, experts in open-source intelligence and rocketry support AP's assessment. The Israeli government and Palestinian fighters have engaged in intense debate and finger-pointing over the incident, further escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict.

Unraveling the Truth: Open Source Videos Expose Gaza Hospital Explosion
The United Nations has called for an independent international investigation into the explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, with conflicting claims from Palestinian officials, the Israeli army, and the United States. Video analysis by news organizations, including Al Jazeera and Channel 4, has found no conclusive evidence to determine the cause of the explosion. While the Israeli army claims it was a failed rocket launch, Al Jazeera's investigation suggests it was an interception by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. The use of a different type of artillery cannot be ruled out. The investigation is ongoing, and evidence such as missile fragments is still missing.
