After the AP initially ignored the death of 11-year-old Nesya Karadi, who succumbed to the wounds she suffered in an Iranian cluster munitions attack, CAMERA prompted coverage that was carried in more than 150 media outlets.

Hamas has alleged (without evidence) that Gazans have been effectively "evaporated" by science-fiction-like extreme-heat munitions, leaving no recoverable bodies, a charge which the Israeli military has emphatically denied.
