Citing a paywalled source isn’t really non-credible. DN is absolutely a credible source. But for anyone that’s doesn’t have a DN sub, read the SVT article like someone else suggested. The Euronews article is probably good too.
But personally I would probably dismiss any newspaper with such a stupid name.
Here is the DN article for anyone that’s interested (copy pasted using Firefox reader, so pardon my formatting): paste.ee/p/4MIBi
Here is part two that was published the next day: paste.ee/p/mBhgt
After a barrage of noise complaints, the Italian city of Milan is proposing a new law to get late-night ice-cream lickers off the streets. The local government has filed papers that could lead to a ban on takeaway food and drink sales after 12.30am coming into effect next month. Here's more from Euronews.
@euronews judging my experiences with both platforms, youtube shorts are absolutely horrendous compared to tiktok. youtube is constantly pushing all sorts of bigotry, fake AI generated stuff, scams, and shorts made by children with 0 views in the stream of often genuinely good shorts content, and dislikes don't do anything about it, which makes me think it's kind of deliberate choice

It’s not a war crime if there’s a legit military target and a reasonably tailored warning.
It is when it’s disproportionate and kills tens of civilians and endangers their lives further by destroying infrastructure… and the “reasonably tailored warning” is not reasonable nor tailored.
That’s where we disagree, it seems.
People have tried and failed to show me where the IDF has failed to warn
Let’s see you refute these by anything other than the equivalent of “Trust me, bro, the IDF said so!”
The Washington Post: “A sniper from the Israel Defense Forces shot the women “without warning” and “in cold blood” Saturday, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, an ecclesiastical office for the Latin Catholics in the region, said in a statement earlier. The two were sheltering at the Holy Family Parish, where the majority of Christian families in Gaza have taken refuge during the war, it said.”
Euronews: Other video showed the chaotic aftermath in the hospital - among those present was Mohammad Lafy, who survived the mosque strike. “We were sitting in the house, they hit the mosque directly next to the house without warning,” he said.
France24: The campaign on the territory run by Islamist group Hamas has killed at least 230 Palestinians, including 65 children, Gaza health authorities say, and displaced tens of thousands from their homes. Many bereaved relatives say their family members are being bombed without warning, while others say their telephones have rung, but they were not given enough notice. This was the case on Saturday for Jawad Mehdi, the owner of Jala Tower in Gaza City that was until Saturday home to the offices of two foreign media outlets. Mehdi said an Israeli intelligence officer warned him he had one hour to ensure the building was evacuated, and his plea for “10 extra minutes”, broadcast live on television, was denied.
I think what you do is call them “reports” when they collide with your view matching the IDF, but you call it “truth” when it’s an IDF report, an army that literally violates international and humanitarian law all the time with almost perfect impunity. Please…
I could still find Israel to be not credible, however it has anti corruption practices in place and competent, legitimate law enforcement and military justice apparatuses, under the command of elected representatives, and those institutions are working to prosecute incitement to genocide and war crimes.
This cannot be true with 75 years of documented fucking Apartheid and ethnic cleansing. You’re not being honest if you ignore their human rights violations detailed by Amnesty, B’Tselem, the UN, WHO, etc, etc, etc…
