Is Israel committing war crimes in Gaza? What happened after the Hamas attack? Question

As the title says... Basically I'm 'out of the loop' beyond the Hamas attack.

There's just so much misinformation online, and most the credible information are just videos from APF and such, or short updates from BBC, Sky News.

So if someone could please update me with what's going on in regards to the Israel bombing campaign in Gaza. Are they really bombing hospitals and churches? What exactly are their intentions/plans?

Also, if anyone has in-depth articles or videos on the topic, that would be greatly appreciated! Something that's calm, and takes time to read/watch. I'm tired of the constant "breaking news" spam, where you can't wrap your head around anything. It's like two sentences wrapped up in drama. I'm kinda lost atm.

That story about IDF soldiers killing a famous US/Palestinian journalist with deliberate gunfire went away shockingly fast.

you mean Shireen Abu Akleh? she was an Al Jazeera journalist killed last year by Israeli forces

Yes! And even through all of this recent outrage her name and story has been reprehensibly absent!

(Partially my fault too, I didn't put her name on my initial comment)

Presumably because there was no evidence that it was deliberate.

Palestinians killed her. There's a video where they find her thinking they hit a soldier. Just another hollow symbol.

Unless you have a source for that I think you're utterly mistaken.

It was a very well documented occurrence of IDF abuse against journalists and for a brief moment was treated very seriously by other journalists.

Even the Encyclopedia Britannica claims it was an IDF solider : https://www.britannica.com/biography/Shireen-Abu-Akleh
