Cellphone Video Captures Gaza Civilian Reportedly Shot and Killed by Sniper

a reply to: buster2010

I love how Israel is always only just criticized for their actions but never held responsible for.

As far as this mans death, I'm sure Israel will justify it or deny it calling it propaganda by Hamas.

rgr. and tks for the prompt reply mate

I think its safe to say that the Israelis have lost the moral high ground.

Reminds me of the following from 2013...

Israeli soldier posts Instagram image of Palestinian child in crosshairs of rifle.

I have a few questions. Since I seriously don't know the answers, I'd appreciate some help.

1.) My understanding is that the first shot hit him in the left hand, driving him to the ground. Then there were two other shots. According to the video, he wasn't shot in the torso, head, or right side. You did notice that even after three shots, there was absolutely no blood? (And I didn't notice torn clothing either.) My question: Is that the usual result for an IDF sniper who hits a target three times? Is it so unlikely as to raise suspicions of fakery?

2.) How much does it matter that the video credits the International Solidarity Movement for editing?

3.) At the beginning of the video, he is shown standing under an awning with intact buildings on both sides. If he's just making a quick dash, where did the buildings go?

I have more, but I think you can understand my confusion.

I'm a little surprised. A lot of information has come out showing that, at least, the video is questionable. More probably it was faked.

HEY! VIDEO DEFENDERS! Come back and answer the objections.

Of course, it's possible that the video can't be defended. In which case it becomes the video equivalent of a drive by shooting.
