At the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, Dr Iyad, director of the Kamal Adwan hospital's maternity department, refused to leave Gaza City, opting to stay with his patients and fulfil his humanitarian mission. But after a month of intense Israeli bombardment and siege, including the targeting of hospitals, he decided to take his family to safety.

He took the road instructed by Israeli forces, assuming it would grant him safe passage. But neither that nor his identifiable medical uniform made any difference.

"Nurse, come," the soldier said when he spotted him, according to Dina. That was the last time she saw her father.

“I cried a lot that day,” Dina, 19, said. “The last words I said to him were, 'May God protect you, my father, my love.'" For the next seven months, Iyad, 53, was forcibly disappeared. Dina had no information about his whereabouts.

Her hopes of seeing him again were shattered earlier this month, when it was revealed he died "under torture" in Israeli detention, six days after his arrest.

yep. They are by no means perfect, but their competition rates AP and Reuters as left leaning lol, so they are the best we’ve got that I know of.

MBFC is very bad.

They rate israeli propaganda outlets as "high credibility" such as the UNwatch that spouts straight israeli propaganda. Their entire front page still "UNRWA = Hamas" which has already been fully debunked

Which bias checker do you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Good question. I've made up my own mind on newspapers biases so I don't use a bias checker anymore.

Every "bias checker" has its own bias. There is no such thing as an objective newspaper. It's best to use sources that don't have a stake in a conflict. But MBFC is ran by liberal Zionists so they certainly aren't a good rating source when it comes to israel-Palestine.
