Unarmed Palestinians killed, buried by bulldozer

Al Jazeera has obtained footage showing Israeli forces in Gaza shooting two unarmed Palestinians dead at close range. One of the men repeatedly waves what appears to be white fabric to show they are not a threat. The bodies of the two are then buried in a pile of rubble and sand by an Israeli bulldozer.

The disturbing incident, which was captured by long-distance cameras, shows Israeli troops opening fire on the two men who were walking along al-Rashid Street and the al-Nablusi roundabout in Gaza City.

Before fatally shooting the Palestinian men, the regime’s soldiers gave them a false sense of safety as the two were waving a piece of white cloth as a sign of surrender.

The footage also shows Israeli soldiers trying to bury them with sand and garbage using a bulldozer.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas reacted to the incident, saying “it was further evidence to fascism and criminality that governs the Zionist regime’s behavior in its Gaza genocide.”

Hamas also called on the United Nations to hold the Israeli regime accountable for its crimes committed against unarmed civilians in Gaza.

The latest development comes as the Israeli regime has carried out eight attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, resulting in the death of 76 Palestinians and injuring of 102 others, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

In the southern city of Rafah, the occupying regime attacked a greenhouse near the al-Shaboura refugee camp, killing 4 people, including a woman.

An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in the western part of Gaza also left seven Palestinians dead.

Dozens were also wounded in Israeli strikes on al-Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.

An Israeli strike on a building full of people near the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City also killed several people and trapped 6 children under the rubble.



Hamas condemns the killings, saying it is “further evidence of the scale of fascism and criminality that governs Zionist behaviour”.
