Israel Warns Journalists to Stay Away from Hamas

The Israeli army has issued a warning to journalists: Stay away from the terrorist group Hamas. The warning was issued on Twitter:

Warning to reporters in Gaza: Stay away from Hamas operatives & facilities. Hamas, a terrorist group, will use you as human shields.

The warning comes after several targeted attacks hit high-level targets seeking refuge in the same building holding journalists.

The Israeli army says it  "surgically targeted a Hamas intelligence operations center on 7th floor of a media building in #Gaza." The military claims a "direct hit."

Minutes ago, we surgically targeted a Hamas intelligence operations center on 7th floor of a media building in #Gaza. Direct hit confirmed.

To be sure, the Israeli military says, those terrorists were there to plan attacks:

The Hamas terrorists weren't in the media building to be interviewed. They were there to communicate with field operatives and plan attacks.

Yesterday, a similar targeted attack wiped out terrorists using journalists as human shields in Gaza.
