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.
