Journalist smuggled into Gaza witnesses horror. This is why they keep the press out
Apocalypse now: Gaza under attack. Western journalists are smuggling themselves into this hell, to see what the Israeli military is trying to hide from them.
The first Western journalist to enter Gaza immediately experiences an Israeli airstrike, and witnesses a 13 year old boy with half his leg missing being brought in. This is why they try to keep journalists out #Gaza https://t.co/cdADPJIxmj

Yashar Ali’s full ‘X’ post is as follows:
CNN’s @clarissaward is the first Western journalist to enter Gaza since October 7.
She did not enter Gaza with the IDF.
Like most militaries, the IDF requires journalists’ footage to be vetted by them before airing.
Clarissa entered Gaza with an Emirati medical team.
There was an Israeli military strike near the field hospital minutes after Clarissa entered.
Clarissa described what she witnessed as “harrowing,” “chilling,” and “sobering.”
“You get an absolute sense of the horrors that have been taking place in Gaza. This hospital was filled with the youngest victims of this war. Children who have been disfigured, who are in full body casts, and who are covered in burns.”
The strike that occurred after she entered resulted in an older man and a 13-year-old boy coming into the field hospital. The boy had half his leg missing, and the older man’s foot was hanging off.
Ms Ward appears to have been the first of several journalists who have managed to smuggle themselves into Gaza.
This Site will try to publish as many of their accounts as possible – separately, because I think that will be more effective than de-sensitising you with one account after another in the same article.

Response to those complaining that Clarissa Ward isn’t the first journalist to enter Gaza: ‘Journalists’ under the CONTROL of the aggressor power are not journalists. They are propagandists. Whoever the aggressor power is – US in Iraq & Ukraine (and all the other places), Israel in Gaza, whatever.
