Israeli Soldiers Kill 11 Unarmed Palestinian Civilians

Human Rights Watch found evidence of Israeli soldiers killing at least eleven Palestinians civilians who were waving white flags during the invasion of Gaza. According to human right watch nine of the Palestinians were women and children. The white flags were to signify that they were unarmed civilians that had no hostile intent. Many times Israeli soldiers fired on them after telling them to leave their home.

Khalid Abed Rabbo who is a resident of Gaza reported how his two children were killed in a video. He said, “When the soldiers arrived outside our house, they yelled for us to come outside. My wife, mother, three daughters and I went outside. We were holding cloths, because we are a peaceful family. I thought that the soldiers would realize that they were looking at women and children. Right in front of me, they shot my eldest daughter. Then they shot the little one, Amal, and then Samar, who was in front of her. When we ran inside, they shot their elderly grandmother who can hardly walk.” In this attack his three year old daughter and her grandmother were also wounded.
