"I shall do by my patients as I would be done by," reads the Hippocratic Oath taken by physicians before they begin practising.

In Gaza, everyone could be a patient, including those whose work it is to help or report what's happening: doctors, nurses, rescue workers and journalists.

While essential workers should be protected by the Geneva Conventions, a set of international treaties that prohibit civilians from being targeted by military actions, in Gaza hundreds have lost their lives or been seriously wounded, UN and local health figures show.

This comes amid widespread allegations of Israel's targeting of healthcare and media staff, claims that Israel denies.......

........“Israeli warplanes launched strikes” targeting a series of sites including air defence units and “surface-to-surface missile depots”, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), in what it said were “the heaviest strikes in Syria’s coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012”.

US-based researcher Richard Cordaro posted to X saying the explosion was picked up as a 3.0 magnitude quake by a magnetometer station at Iznik, Turkiye located 820km from the last site.

“Signal took 12 minutes to travel in the lower ionosphere. That’s about twice as fast as earthquake signals travel,” he wrote.....

....Meanwhile, the Israeli government approved on Sunday, local time, a plan to increase the population of the annexed Golan Heights, while insisting it had no intention of confronting Syria after seizing a UN-monitored buffer zone........

Why is it that the Syrian Druze wish to become a new part of Israel?

His report, collated through Hamas’s own registries and Health Ministry websites, illuminates the myriad ways in which the terrorists fudged and manipulated casualty figures with gay abandon – and which world media, including the great and the good of the West, lapped up and repeated verbatim.

Hamas, driven by the same logic of anti-Semitism that powered the ancient blood libel trope, made sure it seemed as if the IDF went after women and children especially. Fox alleges that one way they did this was to list men as women. Adults were also registered as children; twenty-somethings as infants. Natural deaths, in the tens of thousands, were included as well.

And the nub of it: the lion’s share of deaths in Gaza were those of fighting-aged men. This strand of Fox’s analysis shows how, contrary to claims that the IDF targeted civilian populations, the opposite was true, according to his report.

The vast majority of broadcasters, news sites and newspapers ought to hang their heads in shame. Of 1,378 articles published over a four month period in spring 2024 in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, CNN, the BBC, Reuters, the Associated Press and the Australian ABC, a full 84 per cent did not bother to distinguish between civilian and combatant deaths, Fox found.

A shockingly low 5 over cent of publications released any numbers from the Israelis, while 98 per cent – basically all – exclusively published the Hamas Ministry of Health figures.

Your link does not attach to any story at all W-K , it just goes to Yahoo's main page and no amount of searching finds that story on their site, and if by "Fox" is meant to be Rupert's fake news then you got hooked by his B.S. left, right and centre there, but you get that when you read far too much right wing conservative sources.

Maybe Yahoo worked out that it was fully fake news and removed that story you linked?

If I was a betting man I'd put money on Israel screwing it up yet again like they have every other time.

The U.K,'s conservative Telegraph is almost as bad as Rupert's fake news network and apparently Andrew Fox is well known for his disinformation which says volumes.

Thanks for that Mr. Kevvy.
