The same pictures were also tweeted by Jamal Dajani, an award-winning news producer, journalist, filmmaker and Middle East analyst. His website said he’s also the co-founder of Arab Talk Radio and serves as a senior adviser to Internews, a well-known media organisations.
The @AbuYazan_Gaza account also had two tweets, for the first and second days of Ramazan, where the journalist wanted the rest of the world to see that though Israel had bombed Gaza a year ago, the effects of the bombing and shelling were still very much there. The tweets below are self-explanatory:
