The problem with war reporting is different sides giving different and bias viewpoints, try not to die first and report later, and no chance of rapid probe or investigation. So who knows, maybe they were already dead. Not too mention the bias in capitalist media. Hell, maybe the stone hearted CNN editor gives no shits about people’s lives and just thought that “chaos” buzzword would grab more clicks. I don’t know.
But when a Palestinian, who could have easily just said “IDF shot them all” to enhance their vilification, but instead says the truck killed people, my instinct is to take it as a possibility. If Israel alone claimed the trucks killed more, I’d be pure skepticism.
Or maybe in the scary as fuck situation, the witness made assumptions. Reporters can report on what they found and whoever does the analyzing will do what they do.
Do you have evidence to back up this claim? From what I’ve read, many of those run over were also riddled with bullet holes.
From The Guardian citing AP and BBC
The hospital said it was treating more bullet wounds than truck, though. But that’s survivors
Were they dead before being run over by trucks?
