'Horrifying' Footage Shows IDF Killing Two Gazans, Burying Their Bodies With a Bulldozer
"When the Israeli army can do these things and get away with it, it can only then do more of it knowing that it will not meet any punishment," said one analyst.
Video footage broadcast Wednesday by Al Jazeera shows Israeli soldiers gunning down two Palestinians on the coast of northern Gaza, even as one of them waves what appears to be a piece of white fabric. The video then shows Israeli soldiers burying the bodies with a bulldozer.
Richard Falk, former United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, toldAl Jazeera that the footage provides "vivid confirmation of continuing Israeli atrocities" and spotlights the "unambiguous character of Israeli atrocities that are being carried out on a daily basis."
"The eyes and ears of the world have been assaulted in real-time by this form of genocidal behavior," said Falk. "It is a shocking reality that there has been no adverse reaction from the liberal democracies in the West. It is a shameful moment."

What seems to be a tank drives up at 0:55 and shoots at 1:08.
The Bulldozer crushes them into a pile of rubble at 1:27
FYI, the IDF regularly uses bulldozers to clear bodies for fear of suicide vests.
Not clear why they would shoot them. Don't see a clear threat. Possibly an assassination or just being indiscriminate.
That just sounds like an excuse to bulldoze bodies just like israel has a convenient excuse for all their war crimes.
Also the IDF seems to have moved the bodies to a different location before bulldozing them. The two were not next to each other when shot. A bit late for "IED vest checks".

Famously very safe to have a bomb go off next go a vehicle you're operating. Just fucking check manually at that point.
And obviously in this situation these people were clearly not on the way to do a suicide bombing but honestly nobody thought that in the first place. This is just a long line of excuses used by a genocidal government to whitewash the most flagrant of their crimes.
If a bomb is what they're worried about, I don't think those soldiers would be standing so close as they "checked" the bodies for a suicide vest
