Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's the Sun. They're not trying to be journalists.
For one thing, nobody who attacks a tank is a coward. That takes fortitude. Because you're probably going to die. So throwing untrue insults around in the article, is the furthest thing from journalism that you can get
Lol yeah, the guy fighting a tank in home territory with no body armor and an RPG is a coward, not the guys in the tanks and aircrafts. Those are brave soldiers. 😂
Did you know when you are the aggressor, tanks are civilians?
Edit: /S because it wasn't obvious
Attacking armor in the occupied city you live in is a hall mark of any modern resistance movement, it's a good way to get killed - so whatever their motivations are, it's not cowardace
I don't agree it's fortitude, and this article explains exactly the situation.
What does this article prove? It shows a guy holding something obscured by a red outline and someone else in different clothing holding a rug then standing next to a tree. This is supposed to be proof of something? If this came from a video then let's see the video.
It proves an evidence that Hamas are disguising themselves as civilians, hence danger civilians to be tagged as possible targets.
The full video is in the article, please read the article and watch the video before concluding the post.
I don't think Hamas has an official uniform. I'll note that, when Hamas wore regular camo,
Israel's i24 News and The Sun in the U.K. claimed that “the terrorists wore our uniforms” and “sick Hamas terrorists used IDF uniform disguise.” source
And now that they have someone in Hamas not wearing camo (I don't know, does Gaza even have a working laundry at this point), both the Israeli media and The Sun immediately switch to
Hamas using the civilian population as human shields. Dressed in jeans and a casual grey shirt to look like a civilian
So basically they're saying it doesn't matter how Hamas dresses, whatever they wear is an evil deceitful attempt to mislead the pure upstanding Israelis.
Every army has an official uniform, unless they want to blend with civilians.
Oh, it's you, bringing up this trash article again. Please go away.
Ooh, Rupert Murdoch trash again! Media bias / fact check for The Sun:
Overall, we rate The Sun Right Biased based on story selection and political affiliation that favors the right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to overly sensationalized headlines and numerous failed fact checks.
However, they also include this lovely comment in their analysis section:
In review, The Sun is a classic trashy tabloid that features celebrity gossip, current events, and right-leaning news stories. There is significant use of sensational loaded headlines [...]. The paper generally publishes sensationalized, misleading stories with a right-wing bias. Further, a Reuters institute survey found that 13% of respondents trust their news coverage and 64% do not, ranking them last in trust of the major UK news providers.
The IDF is just manufacturing consent for their genocide of Palestinian civilians. The IDF also still needs to decide if Hamas is a conventional army or a terrorist organization.
The Sun is one of the UKs shitttest newspapers. Reading this kills braincells
Please don't make up your own title, copy paste it from the article as per Rule 1
Also these kinds of guerilla tactics are nothing new
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_and_tactics_of_guerrilla_warfare
Yup.
President George Washington would have done the same to the British if he was in the same position.
Really awesome use of objective language there.
Since this is Hama territory, this is a guerrilla war so the invaders need to accept their targets may not always be in uniform.
Meaning that targets intentionally make themselves to look like civils.
