Israeli military says 15 aid workers in Gaza killed due to ‘sense of threat’

1. This is what happens when you have very permissive rules of engagement and an army of half trained, teenaged conscripts who think everything they encounter is a potential booby trap. Couple this with absolute disregard for, if not genocidal intent towards, the civilian population of the area you’re invading and it’s a recipe for massacres such as this.

2. Did they feel that same “sense of threat” when they tied the aid workers up, summarily executed them, and proceeded to hastily bury them in a shallow mass grave along with their torched ambulances?

   It’s like they’re not even trying with these excuses and constant narrative rewriting anymore lmao

3. The Israeli military would have to be the mostly poorly trained modern military in the world. With the money that Americans use to back them you would think Israel would have a bit of pride instead of giving arms to bed wetters.

4. I’m sure burying the bodies in a mass grave and destroying and obfuscating the evidence of a massacre of unarmed aid workers was part of the “sense of threat”.

5. The IDF in Israel has quite a lot in common with police in the USA it seems. They sense threats and shot first where there is no reason for any aggression whatsoever. And then they come up with bullshit reasons and usually will not be held responsible at all.

6. >In a statement, the military said it was conducting a more in depth investigation but the preliminary “inquiry indicated that the troops opened fire due to a perceived threat following a previous encounter in the area”, and that six of the individuals killed “were identified as Hamas” militants

   >The emergency workers were shot dead on March 23 and buried in shallow graves. The Israeli military initially said it opened fire after unmarked vehicles approached in the dark, but changed its account after video emerged showing clearly marked ambulances and fire trucks with their lights on coming under fire.

   TL: teehee pero

7. Middle East Eye uploaded the full video to their YouTube channel. These rescue workers were apparently responding to a car that had been riddled with bullets. As soon as the emergency vehicles arrived at the scene, the IDF opened fired and continued to fire hundreds of rounds for about four or five minutes. This was a cold-blooded massacre, but it is nothing new to the IDF. I would not be surprised if this turned out to be an intentional ambush using the first vehicle as bait.
