"Bombing of media facilities" section

The section was incoherent. I have rearranged the section according to this scheme:

Casualties
Israeli justification
HRW investigation for four of the incidents which they said did not appear to be on military targets
One separate incident, Al Shrouk incident, which appeared to be on military target. Also give HRW statement on this. It was repeated twice in different paragraphs, I have combined them and added the references in once place.
Reporters without borders, NYT statement
NGO monitor statement

Orphaned references in Operation Pillar of Defense

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Operation Pillar of Defense's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto":

From January 2015 Mazraat Amal incident: "Report: Six Iranians killed in Israeli strike in Syria, including Revolutionary Guards general". Jerusalem Post. 19 January 2015.
From Abdullah of Saudi Arabia: "King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia". Asian History. 1 August 2005. Retrieved 23 October 2011.
From China–Israel relations: "It's kosher: Israel embraces Chinese investment". Ejisight. May 15, 2015. Retrieved 14 May 2015.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:23, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

B'Tselem acknowledged "challenges IDF faces" etc.

I have good faith reverted this edit. The source cited is simply a newspaper analysis/interpretation of B'Tselem's report. This kind of language does not appear in the B'Tselem report. There is no basis to include such a statement here, where the bulk of B'Tselem's analysis is in the opposite direction. There is no language of acknowledging challenges IDF faced in Hamas mixing with civilians in the B'Tselem report that I could find. Kingsindian ♝♚ 15:42, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
