Israeli drone footage documents sniping of a Palestinian boy
Al Jazeera has obtained photos of an Israeli drone that captured the moment soldiers sniped an unarmed Palestinian boy in the northern Gaza Strip. The incident took place during the forces’ incursion into the vicinity of Al Fakhoura School in Jabalia refugee camp last December.
The images were obtained from the camera of an Israeli drone that was later shot down in northern Gaza. The Israeli drone photographed the defenceless Palestinian boy covered in his blood after being sniped before taking close-up pictures of him.
Palestinian killed by Israeli soldier identified as elderly deaf man
Footage obtained by Al Jazeera from an Israeli soldier’s bodycam showed other soldiers congratulating him on killing a defenceless Palestinian man in Gaza City on November 6. “I killed him with four bullets,” the soldier said, adding that the man was hiding next to a bed. “Excellent,” another soldier replied. “All respect.”
The man was identified as Atta Ibrahim al-Muqaid, a 73-year-old deaf man. “He was deaf. So is a world that fails to hear the outcry for justice, ceasefire, and an end to Israel’s occupation,” Laith Arafeh, the Palestinian ambassador to Germany, said on X.

Offices of a children’s charity destroyed in Gaza
The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) said its last remaining office in Gaza has been destroyed in an Israeli attack.
In a post on X, the group shared pictures of a building reduced to rubble and said it was thankful that “no one was killed or severely injured during these bombings”.
