Rafael Ben-Ari

Rafael Ben-Ari is an Israeli photojournalist whose most prominent images documented Qassam rocket attacks on civilians in southern Israel during the 2008-2009 Gaza conflict. Through 2010 the opening said he "is known for his war and conflict photography, with his most prominent pictures from terror attacks from Palestinian Qassam rockets on civilians in southern Israel." The word is gone from the article entirely today, and the opening instead describes his work only as documenting "the war and conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the Muslim Arab world." A reader today does not learn that his most prominent photography specifically documented terror attacks by Qassam rockets on Israeli civilians.
