Israel Shooting Palestinians After Surrender Sparks Debate
- Israel shooting Palestinians triggers criticism and calls for inquiry
- Palestinian officials allege cold blooded murder as video airs on TV
Hyderabad: Israel shooting Palestinians who had surrendered has led to a sharp debate across the region. Palestinian officials accused Israeli troops of killing two men after they raised their hands to show that they carried no weapons. They called the act a “cold-blooded murder.” Videos of the incident appeared on Arab TV channels. They caused strong public anger. The Israeli military later announced an investigation.
The video recorded on Thursday showed two men coming out of a garage. Their hands were raised. This gesture indicated that they did not carry explosives. Soldiers told them to lie on the ground. Then they ordered them to return to the garage. As the men crawled back into the garage, the soldiers shot them. The Israeli army said the two dead men were wanted militants. It stated that they had earlier thrown explosives at soldiers and opened fire.
However, the army also said it was reviewing the shooting after the two men appeared to surrender. This added more attention to the case. The reaction from Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir added a new layer to the debate. He praised the soldiers and said that “the terrorists must die.” His statement produced further tension as the video continued to circulate.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Prime Minister’s Office rejected the Israeli account. It said the incident was a murder committed in violation of international law. The office argued that the act did not match the conduct expected in situations involving surrender. The repeated airing of the video on Arab channels increased global concern. The ongoing investigation by the Israeli military is expected to gain more attention as more details emerge. (Maxim News)
