Regarding the hit on the Palestine Hotel and the Al Jazeera offices
The bottom line stance that the military is taking is as follows.
Journalists have been repeatedly warned that their safety cannot be guaranteed. Being in a war zone is a danger to their health.
The rules of engagement allow for our forces to fire upon any building/position that is firing at them, no matter who may be in line of our return fire. It was stated that our forces not only have a right to return fire, but an obligation to return fire.
