Avi Shamriz, the father of one of the three hostages mistakenly killed by Israeli forces in northern Gaza, has accused the soldier who shot at them of knowing what he was doing, Al Jazeera reports.

“It was clear that he knew who he was dealing with,” Shamriz was reported as saying.

Alon Shamriz, along with two other captives, was killed after more than two months of being held by Hamas fighters, as he moved towards the soldiers shirtless and waving a white cloth.
