Reporters are censored, monitored, and threatened. If they film rocket launches or armed fighters, they risk being detained or expelled. Most know this and self-censor. The result is pure propaganda. X. Hamas hides behind civilians Terrorists wear civilian clothes and operate from civilian buildings. That makes it impossible for reporters to tell who is who, and it leads to heavily distorted reporting. X. Hostage operations are ongoing There are still hostages being held inside Gaza. Journalists moving around freely could unknowingly expose special forces missions, rescue routes, or intelligence collection. X. Hamas is a danger to journalists There is a real risk of kidnapping, hostage-taking, or worse. If anything happens, Israel would be blamed, even if it had no control. Hamas would use it for political leverage and media attention. X. Military secrecy is critical Letting journalists film combat zones in real time would reveal IDF positions, tunnel clearing operations, or drone movements. That puts lives at risk and hands valuable intel to the enemy. X. Legal and diplomatic fallout If a journalist is killed in Gaza, Israel is the one the world turns on. Lawsuits, outrage, and diplomatic pressure would follow immediately, even if Hamas was responsible. X. The double standard is obvious No one allows free press access to Russian frontlines, Chinese military zones, or US drone strike areas. But Israel is constantly criticized for following the same basic security rules. So no, Piers. Letting journalists “decide for themselves” is not a solution. This is not a panel discussion. This is war. And in war, protecting lives comes first. It comes before press access, before media narratives, and definitely before letting journalists wander into combat zones just to “verify” what they already think they know. Why would Israel take the risk of journalists unintentionally (or intentionally) exposing troop positions or feeding Hamas coordinates? The reality is, the press as you and I know, has not proven itself a friend to Israel. And beyond that, the idea of reporters roaming freely through Gaza in the middle of battle is not journalism.

The answer is always the same. Israel is not targeting civilians.
But @piersmorgan does not accept that. He cites the Hamas-run “Palestinian Ministry of Health” or “UK doctors operating in Gaza” as if British surgeons in a war zone can somehow tell whether a bullet came from Hamas or the IDF.
