The fact-checking organization tracked the early reports back to a reporter for i24 News, an Israeli news channel, who said she was relaying the eyewitness reports of soldiers. This includes the willingness, which runs against journalistic DNA, to be slower than other news organization in reporting a big story. It would have gone against journalistic DNA but the best bet would have been merely to report that a hospital had been bombed, that there appeared to be significant casualties and that the source of the bombing was being investigated.
