This ain't no excuse to shoot rockets from a person's house. It simply tells Israel "If you're gonna shoot, we'll take down civilians with us."
I don't expect Hamas to launch rockets from open fields as it'd just be slaughtered easily. That doesn't mean I won't object to them shooting at our civilians while taking hostage their own. That is a double crime against humanity, and I cannot accept it.
I never supported hamas shooting rockets. They never shot them FROM people's houses that's simply bogus. But when the IDF attacks them, they are not going to go sit in open fields and you agreed.
If the journalists were to die, it'd deal a much larger damage to Israel than blocking their entrance.
Israel did the right thing in not letting them in.
I was a war photographer myself for many years and it is not acceptable by the journalistic code for military forces not to allow journalists into areas of conflict. It is a violation to the professional code, as simple as that.
