"Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Palestinian Men by Israeli Soldiers Caught on Video"

Exclusive footage obtained by Al Jazeera shows Israeli soldiers shooting and killing two unarmed Palestinian men at close range in Gaza, as they appeared to surrender and pose no threat. The video, aired after a UN Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire, depicts the men being pursued and shot by soldiers, with their bodies subsequently buried by an army bulldozer. The Israeli army stated that a thorough examination is needed to assess the incident, while Hamas condemned the killings and called for accountability. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called for a UN investigation into the "heinous war crime", while the Palestine Red Crescent Society and a former UN special rapporteur on human rights in Palestine also condemned the shootings as evidence of ongoing Israeli atrocities.
