Al Jazeera TV channel has revealed new details about the Israeli execution of 50 civilians in the city of Gaza and has identified the identity of the isolated Palestinian elderly man who was executed by Israeli occupation soldiers during their raid on a house in western Gaza City last November.
Al Jazeera said that it obtained details revealing the execution of 50 civilians by occupation soldiers in the same area, western Gaza, and the destruction and looting of homes and facilities.
Witnesses confirmed that the residential area had become one of the main points of concentration for occupation soldiers, where they executed more than 50 Palestinians in their homes while trying to escape.
According to testimonies from the surviving residents of the area, the martyrs were buried in random and hasty ways.
Before the withdrawal of the occupation army, the entire area was destroyed, as shown in exclusive photos taken by Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera revealed the identity of the old man who was killed by Israeli soldiers in the same area. It said his name is Atta Ibrahim Al-Muqaid, a 73-year-old deaf elderly man. Al Jazeera obtained a photo of the martyr’s body after it had decomposed, but refrained from broadcasting it due to the severity of the scene.
The martyr could not know that the soldiers had arrived at the location and stormed the house because he did not hear any gunfire in the area. When he was surprised by the soldiers entering the house, his signaling to them not to shoot at him did not help.
This information is consistent with what the Israeli soldier who killed the martyr Atta said, that the martyr gestured to him, asking him not to shoot at him.
Al Jazeera had obtained graphic footage documenting Israeli soldiers killing an isolated elderly Palestinian man during their invasion of a house in western Gaza City.
The footage, which was filmed by an Israeli soldier’s camera, documented the moments of the house invasion and the killing of the elderly man who was alone inside.
The soldiers admitted to killing him before they resumed firing at his body despite the absence of any danger to them or any clashes in the area.
According to the camera’s data, the footage dates back to November 6th of last year at 3:55 PM.
In another development, Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre against displaced civilians in the Khan Yunis area, which was previously declared a safe zone, at dawn Sunday. Local sources said that the occupation forces shelled the tents of the displaced people in the Mawasi area with several artillery shells, resulting in at least 13 martyrs and dozens of injuries.
The sources also mentioned that the occupation forces continued to shell the area, and the ambulances were unable to reach the site to transport the martyrs and the wounded except after several hours. Mawasi is a coastal strip that extends from west of Khan Yunis to southwest of Rafah. It was previously designated by the occupation as a safe zone, where tens of thousands of residents sought refuge, setting up tents and living in extremely difficult conditions.
Since October 7th of last year, Israel has been waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of civilian victims, mostly children and women. This has also led to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive infrastructure destruction.
