Israeli troops shot dead two Palestinians and wounded a third on Gaza’s beach, according to the military, in response to a video showing the incident. The footage, shared by Al Jazeera, depicted men being shot despite waving white flags. The military claimed the video was edited and showed two separate incidents. The Qatari network stated that the men were trying to return to their homes in northern Gaza following displacement. Critics argue that Israeli forces have used excessive force in Gaza, leading to civilian casualties, although Israel blames Hamas for operating in civilian areas. The army did not confirm if the beach shootings would be investigated.
