Footage showing the moments when the Israeli army shot a woman trying to leave the northern part of the occupied Gaza Strip with a white flag in her hand and a child by her side is getting attention on social media, Anadolu Agency reports.

In the video, numerous civilians, most of them women and children, can be seen leaving the area towards the south with clutching white flags of surrender or “don’t shoot” in their hands.

As one woman, walking in the front of a civilian group, holding a white flag and accompanied by a child, moves towards a street, the sound of gunfire is heard.
