There has been no presence of international journalism on the ground in Gaza for months. This is how Israel wants it. News agencies have to either take the IDF's version of events at face value or cite reports from what remains of Gaza's government, i.e Hamas. There are no other sources except for what fragments get uploaded to social media by eyewitnesses.

Personally, I'll take anything from Al JAzeera over anything coming from Israeli intelligence.

Especially with videos like this showing up on Twitter.
