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.”
Ok, so you believe they were just random targets and nothing significant happened before this footage to make them become targets?
Have they been identified?
Wouldn’t be the first time.
That’s true. On the other hand, a lot of propaganda is constructed at the limit of what’s believable.
They don’t bother to identify them, if they are male between the ages of 16 and 50 they label them a potential combatant. They have been bombing civilians indiscriminately for years, but they have upped the intensity to levels unseen in years.
Source: your asshole, I presume.
It’s been a common practice for militaries all over, it’s not a secret, you can read about it elsewhere if you like. You are right though, my source is my personal knowledge of the subject.
