Al Aqsa Voice quotes Hamas official Dr. Salah Bardawil as saying "50 Hamas martyrs rose [to paradise] during the million man march of return on 14/05/2018."
This sounds pretty damning.
Hopefully some reporters will follow up on this. Oh, sorry - the meme of innocent civilians is already set in stone, and no reporter wants to admit that they were wrong.
That would damage their credibility!
