Footage showing the moment Hala Khreis was killed as she tried to leave Gaza City went viral earlier this month. It’s one of a growing number of videos that show unarmed civilians holding white flags being shot dead.

    Why are they shooting at unarmed grandmothers holding hands with a child?

      Because it’s collective punishment and they want to maximize suffering.

      But that will never be officially said. They are well trained to know what is legal and what is not.

      So the official reason will always be that they thought she was a terrorist. Some combination of not being able to see properly in the dust, being under fire from her general direction and terrorists dressing like civilians.

      Because they’re radicalized far-right terrorists invading another foreign nation and committing genocide as a matter of state policy.

      They think she’s the wrong race.

        I’m asking honestly though. Are there any first hand accounts or interviews where any of these soldiers explain these actions. Is it just straight up murdering old ladies and kids. Is it callously firing and ignoring what’s behind other targets. Or is it something else.

          Straight up murdering old ladies and kids. And women. And men. It’s straight up murder no matter how they try to justify it; they’ve been targeting civilians for a long time.

          In the article it says one of the incidents is “under investigation”. Don’t expect much to come out of it.

          Not that I know of.
