International newspapers and websites focused on the Israeli occupation’s targeting of journalists in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, what they considered to be the involvement of Israeli forces in Gaza, and the difficulty of the task of dismantling the Palestinian resistance factions.
The French newspaper Le Monde believes that Israel’s accusations against Tel Aviv Tribune journalists of belonging to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is “a new step by Israel within the media blackout policy it has practiced since the beginning of the war on Gaza, where foreign journalists are not allowed to enter.”
The newspaper said that Israel is keeping its eyes on the remaining few journalists who report the facts from the Gaza Strip, which is isolated from the world.
The Financial Times published a report on the killing of 3 journalists in Lebanon following an Israeli raid. The report stated that the incident “represents the latest indication that Israel has expanded the scope of its goals in Lebanon beyond Hezbollah’s military infrastructure.”
According to the report, Israel targeted rescue workers, financial institutions, government buildings, and journalists, and launched air strikes throughout Lebanon, although it initially said its goal was to push Hezbollah away from the border.
The Wall Street Journal focused on the Gaza Strip, writing that “Israeli forces remain engaged in areas of Gaza where they fought before, reflecting how difficult the task of dismantling Hamas is.”
The newspaper adds, “The experience against Palestinian militants provides realistic lessons for the Israeli army as it expands its war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the largest and most powerful of the two groups.”
An article published by the newspaper “Haaretz” focused on “the attempt to hide the scenes of the massive destruction caused by Israel in Gaza from the eyes of the Israeli public, and even consider talking about it taboo.”
The article stated, “Many Israelis are trying to justify the mass killing in Gaza by saying it is a state of war, while anyone who dares to justify a Hamas attack by saying it is a state of war is considered a traitor from their point of view.”
Regarding the issue of Iran, the Israeli Walla website reported that Iran is closer than ever to military nuclear capability during the era of Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom Israel has turned into a country whose leaders fear international arrest warrants.
The website said, “Hezbollah still possesses a large number of rockets and missiles, and its ability to operate drones has been proven,” and the article concludes by asking: “Where is Israel heading? Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah can be destroyed.”
