Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month.

Those killed by the unmanned aerial vehicle in the rubble of the southern Gaza city appear to be unarmed teenagers or young men. According to a translation of the coverage, they were not identified in the reporting.

Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka’s U.S. policy fellow, said: “This is among the worst footage I’ve seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal.”

    So what’s the solution here? When walking down the road with three buddies, skulk around in a combative stagger formation in case the IDF thinks you’re combatants and hopefully 3 of you make it to cover in time?

    Apparently wouldn’t work since they used two hits anyway.

      What, you sayin you don’t stutter step and leapfrog on the way to the bar with your buddies just in case a bomb is coming?

      Creative writing. Most people use the word “walk”.

        I don’t think you read that comment correctly.

          You’re right I thought he was implying they walked like that. Had a few too many Hasbara replies today.
