Thirteen killed in deadliest Israeli raid for months in southern Syria

3. The problem with all of this kind of reporting is that

it is all "the IDF says" and there is no really independent reporting going on in southern Syria. The occupation of southern Syria is another failure by the UN and the international community, mainly the US, to reign in the activities of the IDF/rabid right wing government in Israel. Independent journalists have been historically heavily restricted, harassed, targeted and killed by the IDF. That didn't come without orders despite any denials from the government.

It is particularly galling since if Israeli journalists reporting from conflict areas in Africa, Myanmar etc. were treated similarly the howling, retaliation and demands coming from Jerusalem would be off the charts. It is this kind of duplicity that other nations and people around the world find so obviously self-serving, hypocritical and deserving of condemnation.
