Israel tells Gaza-based reporters it’s not liable for injury
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli Government Press Office warns foreign journalists reporting from the Gaza Strip that covering the conflict in the Gaza Strip “exposes journalists to life-threatening danger.”
“As part of Hamas’ strategy of hiding behind the civilian population it has frequently exploited journalists as human shields, deliberately putting them at risk of injury or death,” the GPO says in a email forwarded to reporters.
“Israel is not in any way responsible for injury or damage that may occur as a result of field reporting.”
It closes, however, saying, “Be safe in your mission.”
