This was a really good breakdown of the timeline. Thanks for sharing.
The whole story is depressing. Israel committed another war crime and gave a flimsy excuse. The US did nothing and even increased weapons as a result (in violation of multiple federal laws).
Based on dozens of witness testimonies, whistleblowers and visual analysis, this is the most comprehensive reconstruction yet into the strike.
It is now a year since Mariam Abu Dagga, a Palestinian journalist who worked for Independent Arabia and the Associated Press, was killed by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in, of all places, a hospital. That fact is not in doubt.
The story, recounted in moving and forensic detail by the Independent’s Chief International Correspondent Bel Trew, is desperately sad and one of grievous injustice.
Mariam was 33 when she, journalistic colleagues and medical staff were hit by successive rounds of Israeli tank fire, leading to the suspicion that this was a “double tap” attack.
She leaves behind her teenage son, who she sent to the UAE for safety as the conflict intensified.
The Independent has shared all our detailed findings with the Israeli military, and asked for comments on each point. The military declined to respond, adding only that “the review is still ongoing under the General Staff Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism”.
How many journalists have to be revealed as Hamas operatives, and how many false charges of war crimes, genocide, and mass starvation need to be made and disproven before people either exercise some reasonable skepticism or admit their bias?

Seriously, Israel has investigated each of these claims already and found nothing. I don't understand what else people expect?
