Deadly fighting erupts between Hamas and Palestinian clan in Gaza

Reports circulating on social media – difficult to independently verify – claim that more than 11 Hamas members were killed, with some of their bodies dragged through the streets.

I hate this so much: why would Palestinian journalism be more "difficult to independently verify" than Israeli journalism?

Yeah, I need a better article about this incident.

BBC has experienced journalists inside Israel. They aren't allowed into Gaza.

The BBC has asked to be allowed inside Gaza, but Israel refused:

They are forced to rely on social media and free lancers.

It's a war zone. Independent verification doesn't depend on the news outlet being verified. It's access by the outlet doing the verification.
