Parachutes drop supplies into the northern Gaza Strip, as seen from southern Israel, Wednesday, March 20, 2024. JERUSALEM — Israeli troops shot dead two Palestinians and wounded a third on Gaza’s beach, the military acknowledged Saturday, responding to a video that showed one man falling to the ground after walking in an open area and then a bulldozer pushing two bodies into the garbage-strewn sand.The video was broadcast earlier this week by the Al Jazeera television network.
In the video, one man is seen walking away from Israeli forces before he falls to the ground, apparently after being shot. He is seen raising his hands above his head at one point, and Al Jazeera said he was waving a white flag in the moments before he is hit. The army said the two men who were killed had carried bags, although no bags were visible in the footage. The military said the wounded man was later released after questioning.
Israel has held Hamas responsible for civilian casualties because the militants operate from within civilian areas. The army did not say whether the beach shootings would be investigated.
