Haaretz newspaper revealed that the Israeli army admitted to killing the defenseless elderly man, whose execution Al Jazeera published in a house west of Gaza, indicating that it was investigating the circumstances of his death.

The Hebrew newspaper said that the Israeli army used the excuse that its forces were operating in a complex combat zone when they killed the defenseless elderly man.

Al Jazeera broadcast scenes documenting the killing of an unarmed elderly Palestinian by occupation soldiers during their storming of a house west of Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip.

The scenes - which were filmed by an Israeli soldier's camera - showed the moments when the soldiers stormed the house and killed the elderly man who was present alone in the house.

Al Jazeera was able to identify the elderly man who was executed by the occupation soldiers and they confessed to this, and obtained new details revealing that the occupation soldiers killed 50 civilians in the same area.

It turned out that the martyr who appeared in these photos - which Al Jazeera revealed yesterday, Friday - was Atta Ibrahim Al-Muqayd, a 73-year-old deaf elderly man.

Al Jazeera obtained a photo of the martyr's body after its decomposition, but did not broadcast it due to the cruelty of the scene.

The martyr was not able to know that the soldiers had arrived at the place and stormed the house, because he did not hear the sounds of gunfire in the place, and when he was surprised by the soldiers entering the house, his signal to them not to shoot him did not help him.

This information is consistent with what the Israeli soldier who killed the martyr Atta said, that the martyr pointed at him asking him not to shoot him, and it turned out that he did not pose any danger.

Al Jazeera also surveyed the location of the house where the murder took place, and the victim's family demanded any information indicating his burial place.

According to camera data, the clip dates back to November 6th at 3:55 p.m.

50 martyrs

Al Jazeera also obtained new details revealing that the occupation soldiers killed 50 civilians in the same area, and destroyed and bulldozed homes and facilities.

Eyewitnesses from the area's residents told Al Jazeera that the residential square turned into one of the most important concentration points for the occupation soldiers, as they executed more than 50 Palestinian residents of its homes during their attempts to escape from the place.

According to the testimonies of those remaining alive in the area, the 50 martyrs were buried in random and hasty ways.

Before the Israeli army withdrew, the area was completely destroyed, according to exclusive photos from Al Jazeera.

Since the seventh of last October, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip that has left tens of thousands of civilians martyred and wounded, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive destruction of infrastructure, which led to Tel Aviv being brought before the International Court of Justice. Charged with genocide.
