In a report on Thursday marking the anniversary of the October 13, 2023 attack, CPJ, a US-based press freedom advocacy organisation, said that Israel has not even completed a preliminary investigation into the incident. “In spite of extensive evidence of a war crime, a year on from the attack, Israel has faced zero accountability for the targeting of journalists,” CPJ’s CEO Jodie Ginsberg said in a statement.
The Israeli army, in a previous email to CPJ, claimed the shelling was in response to a suspected"terrorist infiltration" and said the incident remained"under review."In the video, Collins describes the moment the group of journalists, marked with press insignia and visible to Israeli military positions, was targeted by Israeli tank fire.
