The IDF is probing leaked drone footage aired by Al Jazeera this week showing recent Israeli strikes on a group of seemingly unarmed Palestinian men in the Khan Younis area, the military says.
In response to a query by The Times of Israel, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit says the footage was from an “active combat zone in Khan Younis, which had been significantly evacuated of the civilian population, and in which the troops experienced many encounters with terrorists who fought and moved [around] in civilian clothing, and disguised weapons in buildings and property that are believed to be civilian.”
The footage has been handed over to the General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism, an independent military body responsible for investigating unusual incidents amid the war, for further review, the IDF adds.
Warning: Graphic footage

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
