Thanks for responding and taking an interest, t, it is appreciated.

Whether these are "stringers" or not is an irrelevant distraction.

1. Journalists are not allowed in Gaza, the Israelis said as much repeatedly.
2. Palestinian journalists who disregarded the edict were targeted and killed by the IDF.
3. Sky News has obtained footage (whether their own or from a third party doesn't matter) showing men using sledgehammers and garden trowels trying to dig out families trapped under slabs of concrete.
4. There is an interview on camera with a woman having to move on yet again, god knows where, and it is mentioned that they receive a few minutes to twenty minutes notice to pack up their belongings and move on.

I keep coming back to my one, simple, central question. How can Sky News obtain and broadcast such reports when there's a news blackout inside Gaza, and if they can do it, why can't the BBC?
