Since you don't actually see them in the video, then yes, this is what you are supposed to report if you're a serious journalist.

Are you telling me Israeli civilians detonate buildings in Gaza while singing the final countdown?

I mean, a serious journalist wouldn't rule out the possibility that this was actually done by Hamas, who were also the people hiding in the detonated buildings behind children that were being used as human shields.

Well, we did have an Israeli journalist who went to report from Lebanon with the IDF and they allowed him to blow a building, so who knows.

I just think you're not supposed to assume.

In Israel, when there is an incident which is typical of a terror attack, there are always people who are upset at media outlets who do not rush to call it a terror attack right away, until it's certain. It shouldn't be different. It's professionalism.

It's not as if Sky didn't mention they were soldiers. Just wrote "assumed to be", which is as close as it gets.

Thats even worse.

I understand the rest. But sky of all outlets will not give the benefit of the doubt.
