Not sure how to rate a left-center Israeli source in this situation, but ‘high credibility’ does suggest that they do a decent job overall.
Literally read the article. Pay attention to the words they use when talking the people and groups.
I’m not a mind reader. What words do you want me to pay attention to in specific?
Take that with a massive grain of salt, a lot of Israeli media is high factuality except when it comes to Palestine, where they turn into dehumanizing propaganda mills. MBFC has no mechanism to account for selective factfulness
Okay, so how do we judge this story’s validity? I do know Al Jazeera is denying it.
Yep, and al jazeera is nothing but a propaganda machine. This isn’t the first time they’ve been caught with their hand in the cookie jar
The Islamist propaganda tool actually has members holding hostages…yeesh. Al Jazeera really has fallen all the way.
