    This is going to be unpopular, but how do we know they’re non-combatants? Just because they’re unarmed at the moment the video is filmed, doesn’t make the non-combatants, AFAIK.

    We’re basing this on the opinion of a a biased reporter, who wached the video and described what they saw?

    Disclaimer, required around here:
    Fuck Israeli Government.
    Fuck Hamas.

      If Israel brought out video evidence of these specific guys doing stuff before then I’d agree. But with their track record the burden is definitely on them to prove these guys were combatants they just happened to catch unaware.

        I’m sure the Israeli government has a lot of their hands right now to comment on every twitter video posted by a person who’s location is set to Gaza.

        If this is actually a war crime, I hope the culprits are punished accordingly.

        Other than that, I’m going to treat this as yet another twitter video, without context, cut to fit an agenda, with some blood-boiling comment.

      If you’ve ever seen a Hamas video they sneak through the opnenings in the sides of buildings. They certainly don’t walk around in the open like this without worries.

      The burden of evidence lies on israel, and just like that time they drone striked an ambulance, no evidence will be presented.
