      There is literally a definition in the article…

      Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is defined as intelligence produced by collecting, evaluating and analysing publicly available information.

      It’s genuine intel but needs to be verified thoroughly. I will believe it once it hits reputable news sources.

        Which are? For example in Germany the Tagesschau is a quite reputable source and they are also using these OSINT sources to back the story up.

          Reuters, NPR, NYT. I’m not going to deny facts, I would just like to be sure. Israel has enough war crimes for me to hate them over.
