The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has recently come forward and admitted to the killing of two Palestinian men in Gaza, followed by the burial of their bodies using a bulldozer. This confession comes after a video, obtained by Al Jazeera, surfaced and allegedly showed the entire incident.
The Video: A Surrendering Gesture and Brutal Fate
The Al Jazeera video, filmed from a distance and subject to heavy edits, captures two men walking along a beach in Gaza. Both men are seen waving white flags, symbolizing their surrender, as they cautiously approach a group of Israeli soldiers. Among them, one man is walking with his hands in the air, disappearing from view momentarily. The video does not provide clear details on what happens to him next. Meanwhile, the second man, after turning away from the soldiers, is seen being followed by an Israeli armored vehicle. Tragically, he falls to the sand, appearing to be shot.
The video then switches to another angle, and in a location not yet geolocated, an Israeli military bulldozer is witnessed burying two bodies in sand and debris. It remains uncertain whether these bodies correspond to the two men featured in the initial sequence; however, Al Jazeera claims that these bodies are indeed the same men recorded at the start. In its commentary, Al Jazeera expresses that the “giant bulldozer shovels the two bodies and buries them in sand and litter, as the Israeli soldiers attempt to conceal the executions.”
To corroborate the incident and the location, CNN has requested an unedited version of the footage from Al Jazeera. According to Al Jazeera, the incident took place near Al Rasheed Street in central Gaza. CNN’s geolocation efforts confirm that the incident transpired on the beach. Additionally, supportive visual evidence, including satellite imagery and videos, reveal the presence of Israeli military engineering vehicles, specifically bulldozers, in the vicinity.
Israel’s Account: Two Alleged Incidents
Israel, in response to the video, has put forward its version of events, claiming that the edited video represents two separate incidents. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the first incident took place in the southern part of the corridor. As per their statement, after the suspect failed to respond to a warning shot, the force fired in their direction, resulting in minor injuries. The IDF added that the suspect was later released after receiving medical treatment and undergoing questioning.
The second incident, as asserted by the IDF, occurred in the northern part of the corridor. In this case, the IDF maintained that the two suspects approached Israeli forces “in a suspicious manner,” prompting the use of live fire that resulted in their deaths. The IDF further stated that the bodies, as a safety measure, were subsequently moved from the location using appropriate tools, in fear of the presence of explosives and to minimize risks to their forces.
