HonestReporting or Honest Reporting is an Israeli media advocacy group.[1] A pro-Israel media watchdog,[2][3] it describes its mission as "combat[ting] ideological prejudice in journalism and the media, as it impacts Israel".[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HonestReporting

I have a bit of a question on this. 180 meters is the length of 2 football fields. That is quite a distance for secondary explosions to reach and damage, not impossible but still.
