I think they're fully aware of the carnage that's being caused, but while they seem to consider the death toll to be regrettable-yet-acceptable, they know the rest of the world will not. I doubt they would express it in those terms though, I suspect they would claim that Hamas would not allow journos free reign in the territory either, but would attempt to control where and when filming could take place, thereby (if possible) painting an even bleaker picture of what's happening. There is of course also the risk of foreign nationals being killed by Israeli bombs, with all the diplomatic complications that would bring.
