BT :I know your angry at todays result ,but believe me it will pass. Do you know apart from rockets what else these numb skills have 'propaganda'.
Do you think the truth can come out of Gaza? Will these militants allow the truth to be heard? (Take note!)
Violations of Freedom of the Press
Freedom of the press has been on a sharp downward descent since Hamas' violent takeover in 2007. Based on polls conducted in Gaza, the level of free press in Gaza fallen from 52% in September 2007, to 19% in 2010, and to 14% in 2016. However, the lack of transparency in the Gaza Strip, especially with regards to Hamas' internal affairs, makes it nearly impossible to gather accurate statistics on this issue. This report therefore relies on the myriad of testimonies from journalists and residents who have been jailed, tortured and expelled by the Hamas authorities after reporting on the organization's activities.
Hamas employs a number of mechanisms in order to control the messages conveyed by the media in Gaza. Hamas itself operates the main television channels, which broadcast only Hamas approved material, often involving incitement against Israel. In order to deter journalists from critical reporting, Hamas enforces strict censorship on all media. Foreign journalists are able to report on the reality within the Gaza Strip only after they leave. In recent years, Hamas has even attempted to deter journalists from entering Gaza by forcing them to answer invasive questions, raising taxes for the armored cars in which journalists often travel, and limiting their freedom of movement to certain approved locations only. Journalists who have refused to abide by Hamas' restrictions are often subjected to investigation, torture, and imprisonment, and released only on the condition that they will not criticize Hamas. In addition to these active means of suppression, Hamas also endangers the lives of journalists and media infrastructure by launching rockets in their vicinity in order to prevent Israeli retaliation.
When asked by Israeli filmmaker Michael Grynszpan about why reporters from Gaza seldom broadcast Hamas militants in action, a Spanish journalist explained, "we did see Hamas people there launching rockets, they were close to our hotel, but if we dare pointing our camera on them they would simply shoot at us and kill us."
An Italian Journalist, Gabriele Barbati, reported from Italy a day after he had witnessed a rocket launch that hit the Shati refugee camp and killed a number of children. Following the launch, he saw Hamas members clearing debris that could have testified to Hamas' involvement in the death of the children. In his tweet he wrote "Out of Gaza and far from Hamas retaliation," clarifying his reasoning for not reporting on this incident live the day before. So freedom of the Press??
I know your fishing again but you do ask ?
..........with a few hundred proper $hit rockets fired??
Israeli intelligence has estimated that Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian militant groups have about 30,000 rockets and mortar projectiles stashed in Gaza.
The arsenal’s medium-range rockets, based on Iranian and Russian design, can reach targets up to 25 miles, making Israeli targets as far as the Tel Aviv suburbs vulnerable.
The longest-range rockets can travel much farther and can hit Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion Airport. They include the M-75, a locally made rocket with technology supplied by Iran,
On Thursday, Hamas claimed in a statement that it has a missile with a range of 250 kilometers, about 155 miles, that can hit anywhere in Israel.
