    Not really any other conclusion? What about the one where the tank that fired at them was too far away to see them clearly but acted without communicating with soldiers who were closer and aware that the journalists weren’t a threat? Apparently that’s less likely than deliberately causing a PR disaster somewhere where there wasn’t even anything controversial going on for the journalists to record.

      When the story first broke the witnesses/journalists said that a couple of drones had hovered over them before they were hit.

      Israel knew damn well they were journalists and didn’t give a shit … because the IDF actively hunts them down and murders them.
