NYT did a big story about how Hamas allegedly weaponized sexual assault during operation Al-Aqsa Flood, but the person who did the story was not a journalist and every person she talked to in Israel gave her zero evidence and the main source they ended up quoting was an IOF propaganda mill that has a long history of just making shit up. It failed the most simple fact checking imaginable, stuff like "Hamas killed a pregnant woman" and then checking Israel's list of civilian deaths and not finding a single pregnant person.
As a cherry on top, many of the crimes that were attributed to Hamas in that piece and related journalism were actually crimes that were well documented - when the IOF committed them in Lebanon.
