The [AP] analysts said that the bursts of gunfire and the pop sequences in some of the videos indicated that guns were panning in different directions and were not repeatedly aimed at a single target. They could not pinpoint exactly where the shots were coming from nor who was shooting.

GHF says the Israeli military is not deployed at the aid distribution sites. Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an army spokesman, said the army is not stationed at the sites or within their immediate proximity, especially during operating hours. He said they’re run by an American company and have their own security.

One of the contractors who had been on the sites said he’d never felt a real or perceived threat by Hamas there.

SRS says that Hamas has openly threatened its aid workers and civilians receiving aid. It did not specify where people were threatened.

and

The AP cannot independently verify the contractors’ stories.

Mentioned twice.

And yet, the default assumption here is that the article you cited is fact-based and not a heavily edited recitation of hearsay, which it is.

Why do you think The Telegraph neglected to mention any of it, and more, in its peculiar rendition of the incident?
