Footage showing the moment Hala Khreis was killed as she tried to leave Gaza City went viral earlier this month. It’s one of a growing number of videos that show unarmed civilians holding white flags being shot dead.

I'm asking honestly though. Are there any first hand accounts or interviews where any of these soldiers explain these actions. Is it just straight up murdering old ladies and kids. Is it callously firing and ignoring what's behind other targets. Or is it something else.

Straight up murdering old ladies and kids. And women. And men. It's straight up murder no matter how they try to justify it; they've been targeting civilians for a long time.

In the article it says one of the incidents is "under investigation". Don't expect much to come out of it.

Not that I know of.
