Jim Lobe noticed this passage in Isabel Kershner’s April 11 piece on a possible cease-fire between Israel and Hamas:
The most recent escalation began when the military wing of Hamas fired a Kornet antitank missile at the school bus from a distance of about two miles. It was the first time the group used an advanced, laser-guided weapon against a civilian target.
Hamas said the attack was meant to avenge Israel’s killing of three of the group’s militants on April 2, an act that Hamas said violated an earlier ceasefire.
So wouldn’t the most recent escalation arguably have begun on April 2 with the Israeli attack? This kind of reporting can drive people crazy.
