Channel 4 has been praised for its “outstanding” dispatches from Palestine as the situation in the Middle East continues to intensify.
Israeli ground forces attacked Hamas militants and infrastructure on Tuesday in northern Gaza as the military said about 800,000 people have fled the area since the war began more than three weeks ago.
Buoyed by the first successful rescue of a captive held by Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected calls for a ceasefire and again vowed to crush the militant group’s ability to govern Gaza or threaten Israel following its bloody October 7 rampage, which ignited the war.
The military said one of the estimated 240 captives seized by Palestinian militants during the wide-ranging assault was rescued in a special forces operation, lending support to Mr Netanyahu’s contention that the ground war will help facilitate the recovery of more hostages rather than putting them in increased danger.
Outside of Gaza, Channel 4 dispatches from the West Bank have won plaudits among people on social media, with this report from Matt Frei garnering considerable attention:
