HY”D. But YWN, please show more responsibility and do not publicize deaths until they have also been cleared for publication in Israel. As I write this, all the Israeli news sites are still reporting her condition as grave.
Why #1? If YWN has credible sources why can’t they report something before Israeli newspapers?
What’s up with the videos all they always show is a bunch of soldiers and ambulances just sitting there. Why don’t you only post the videos of the attack or something that’s actually happening after.
#2, in Israel they are sensitive to wait until they know the family has been informed. I would think YWN could do the same. Bad news can wait.
Moderators Note: YWN has never once published the name of a victim before all family has been properly notified.
