     This is video footage of the aftermath of the fatal Israeli airstrike on a car carrying two journalists in southern #Gaza.

     Al Jazeera journalist #HamzaAlDahdouh and #MustafaThuria, a video stringer for AFP, were killed when their car was struck driving between #Rafah and #KhanYounis.

     Hamza’s father, Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief, #WaelAlDahdouh, holds his late son’s hand. His wife, two other children and a grandson were killed by a separate earlier airstrike. #Israel

     Just wanted to comment that #Jordan's air force and it's pilots have always been top notch (the late King Hussein was an avid pilot). Which was why Jordanian air fields were among #Israel's primary targets in the 1967 Six Day war.

     My guess is that US & Israeli intel helped guide the airstrikes on #Syria' s #captagon drug warehouses.

     Why it matters: MBZ's refusal underscores the position of many Arab countries that have said they won't foot the bill to maintain the status quo in the #WestBank and #Gaza after the war.

     "The notion that Arab countries will come in to rebuild and pay the bill for what's currently happening is wishful thinking," an Emirati official told Axios.
