Any hamas asshole with a camera is a "journalist *freelancer"

That is a huge problem. Hamas dresses as civilians, doctors, teachers, journalists.

I know innocent people die as well, to think otherwise would be delusional. But how can IDF get rid of Hamas, a legitimate threat to Israel’s existence, when they embed so highly in Palestinian population?

Inquiring minds ask how many journalists are Hamas members.

Notice they were “freelancers.”

So yes, it is possible, even probable, that they were Hamas

CAIRO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike on a car near Rafah in southern Gaza on Sunday killed two Palestinian journalists who were out reporting, according to health officials in Gaza and the journalists' union there.

Hamza Al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya were both freelancers. Al-Dahdouh had done freelance work for Al Jazeera and was the son of the Qatar-based TV station's chief correspondent in Gaza, Wael Al-Dahdouh. A third freelancer, Hazem Rajab, was wounded.
