Israeli Airstrike Kills Two 14-Year-Old Boys - Footage Released By IDF Shows They Doctored The Video To Hide The Killing

Israeli military carried out an airstrike on a building in Gaza which it claimed the Hamas used for training purposes. A joint investigation by B’Tselem and Forensic Architecture found that the strike began with the launching of four missiles the military termed “warning missiles.” The first killed two 14-year-olds who were sitting on the rooftop at the time. The investigation also found that the video clip the military released of the attack omits footage of the strike in which the two boys were killed while the impact of the third missile is shown twice.
“Multiple weapons experts independently concluded that the fragmentation pattern” from the missile that killed the boys “is indicative of shrapnel specifically designed to increase the damage caused to human bodies,” the investigation states.

Multiple eyewitnesses reported that the two boys were killed by the first warning missile. But in the Israeli army footage, the boys are not visible on the roof as the missile strikes.

The IDFs tweet:


The terrified faces of those children at 6:55 is so unbelievably sad.

I'm in the Coursera IHL course now and we just learned about this. As the video states at the end current IHL interpretation and common international law allows for this type of strike. It's sobering to see many people's fears of this technique come true. These strikes minimize the possibility of civilian death but do not eliminate it. Also the practice of the technique is widely married. In many instances the warning attacks themselves don't give people enough time to get out, which was not the case in this video. It's really saddening though, especially those kids who were doing the cooking video.

i don't even know what to say. dropping 'non-lethal' bombs to terrorize people like animals before an eminent attack. do they not know how to use sirens?

The idea is to let people know precisely where the bomb will drop. It's about destroying safe space, physical information, weapons. Personally something like a colored flare would be better.

Israel, the IDF and the Israelis that support this can go fuck themselves. Same goes for everyone that continues to enable them too, you know who you are.

This is just so sad. Hopefully the BLM movement can shine a light on this in America.

This is going to move up the courts very soon and be struck down.

Anyway, would love for any Zionist/idf defenders to come in here and try and defend this shit. There's so much proof and evidence with video they can't feign ignorance.
