The Palestinian police general killed by Israeli forces on Monday morning was in charge of securing the entry of aid trucks into northern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

His efforts resulted in the safe entry of aid trucks for two nights in a row, following weeks of Israel targeting convoys and aid seekers.

Over two dozen aid trucks entered Gaza City over the weekend and reached isolated areas in the north for the first time in months.

    A short, heavily-edited video, with every “militant” blurred, and only showing blurred dead guys with guns is not evidence.

    Raw footage or GTFO. This is actually worse than zero evidence, as it could be completely manufactured fake news.

    If their statements were true, they should have no issue releasing the complete and unedited body cam footage, from entry to exit — at the very least, screening it to reputable independent journalists and the ICC.

      Name one military in the world that releases complete and unedited body cam footage from special forces raids. Do you understand how absurd that is?

      Do you really think any organization would release unedited footage of any military operation?

      MEE themselves have been done for editing videos to push agenda.

          Did that change your perception of the US army? Did that justify their actions to you? Were you less likely to question actions taken by the US army when the media is grilling them?

            Sure as hell called out WikiLeaks as unreliable and propaganda. Their propensity for actually putting soldiers credibly accused of crimes on trial made the Army itself a more reliable center of information.
