Israel Was Slammed For Bombing Gaza Building That Housed AP. But Israel Says Hamas Was Building Anti-Iron Dome Device There.

On Tuesday, Israeli Ambassador to the United States and the United Nations Gilad Erdan issued a statement saying that when Israel bombed the al-Jalaa building in Gaza that housed employees of The Associated Press, an action for which the mainstream media condemned them, Hamas was using the same building to work on a device that would have rendered Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system ineffective, thus leaving Israel vulnerable to massive rocket attacks.

Erdan and the Israel Defense Forces gave information to AP CEO Gary Pruitt and the news agency’s vice president for foreign news, Ian Phillips, in New York, The Jerusalem Post reported. The Post noted, “Israel gave advance warning for the strike, and no one was killed.”
