The bullet that killed Shireen Abu Akleh came from the approx. position of an Israel military vehicle — most likely fired by a soldier from an elite unit. It was one of 16 bullets fired into the direction of 5 clearly marked journalists. Our investigation: nytimes.com/2022/06/20/world…

This is wild—and likely a sign of things to come as we transition to a web that is optimized for bots more than humans. theatlantic.com/technology/2…

A year ago, the world met Habiba al-Askari, a three-year-old toddler in Gaza fighting for her life.
@JomanaCNN and @AbeerSalmanCNN's reporting resulted in Habiba's medical evacuation to Amman.
CNN returned to Jordan this year to reunite with little Habiba and her family.

NEW: Our visual analysis suggests the United States hit two drinking-water facilities overnight in southern Iran with precision-guided munitions. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. w/ @ckoettl @johnismay @ArtemisChats

And thanks for the brilliant @Easybakeovensz for pointing out a remnant of a GBU-39 is also visible in this view of the hole on the roof of the larger building.

Drinking water installations are quintessentially “objects indispensable to survival,” a category with heightened protection in international law.
Attacks directed against such installations are presumptively unlawful.
This report strongly indicates precision strikes on two.

On the first day of the war, U.S. precision strikes killed 120 children at a school and 21 civilians at/near a sports hall. Just last night, precision strikes destroyed a drinking water facility serving 20,000 people in 100°F heat. “Very precise, very controlled.”

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: You look at American performance in Iran, which was been thanks to the bravery of Americans and I would like to believe our tech, very few losses on our side, very precise, very controlled."

GBU-39 wing remnant next to an entry hole consistent with a GBU-39 bomb at a water infrastructure building outside Bemani, Iran, following alleged US strikes.

The roof of the larger structure to the east is still intact, but multiple images show it has a small hole punched through the center of the roof. This is consistent with precision strikes, as seen before in Minab as well.
