Israeli soldiers had shot toward Palestinians holding white flags outside an officially approved route near an aid distribution center in Gaza in mid-June, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing an IDF combat reservist.
The soldiers opened fire once the crowds crossed what they considered to be a red line. Soldiers are ordered to fire warning shots at people’s knees or in the air, but the reservist said mistakes happen.
In late June, Haaretz reported on army-mandated open fire at unarmed crowds seeking aid as a crowd control measure, leading to an internal military probe. Earlier in July, U.S. employees told the Associated Press that contractors guarding GHF aid distribution sites are also using live ammunition and stun grenades, which the GHF denied.
How is shooting someone in the knee ‘a warning shot’? Even their official policies (that are ignored in the field) are unnecessarily cruel and stupid.
Never forget that Israeli soldiers found people in their underwear waving white flags and they killed them because they thought they were Arab. But it was really Jews that had been taken hostage and were hoping for rescue.
Cue the laundry room scene from American History X.
They shot at the Israeli captives who were waving a white flag after they escaped Hamas two years ago.
And speaking Hebrew.
Fucking war criminals.
Palestinians are a forgotten people just like the Albanians. They will continue to be slaughtered as long as the american evangelicals need Israel for the rapture.
What happened in Albania?
The white flags really help with ranging and targeting says IDF soldier.
They wanted to see a Japan flag
