ISRAELI soldiers shot dead two unarmed Palestinian men at close range in Gaza, footage obtained by news outlet Al Jazeera has shown.
The men repeatedly waved what appeared to be white fabric in the video in a sign of surrender and to show they did not pose a threat.
The Israeli army told Al Jazeera that a “thorough and professional examination is required in order to assess the details of the incident”. It further called on the International Criminal Court to take “necessary measures” to hold Israel accountable for “the crimes they commit against children and defenceless civilians.”
