After Israeli forces provided warning of the attacks, journalists and other civilians were able to escape death.

Key Points: 
  • After Israeli forces provided warning of the attacks, journalists and other civilians were able to escape death.
  • But, as AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt put it, AP journalists and freelancers saw their equipment destroyed and \'narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life.\'"\nThis trend prompts the question of whether Israeli forces are attacking these facilities to impair independent and accurate coverage of the conflict.\nWe call upon Israeli authorities to halt strikes on facilities known to house press.\nReliable media organizations are the best sources of accurate information about events in Gaza, and they must not be prevented from doing their vital job.
