The IDF have no way of knowing if the footage has been 'doctored'
Yes, of course they do. I have seen it done by technical investigators.
Another question that needs answering is why the man was in an area where the IDF were operating?
There are Palestinian people all over the place where the IDF are operating. They IDF have even regularly bombed exactly where the IDF have told them to go. The BBC did an investigation about this at one point.
Before the IDF enter an area they do leaflet drops to tell civilians to evacuate. They are also told that if they remain then they will be classed as 'enemy' and could be shot.
Each and every time? Rubbish.
And what if a person cannot get away or have anywhere to go. What if the IDF then bombs the area the leaflet said to go? ( See previous o paragraph.)
How Littlebowiepeep do you think over 30,000. people, (75% women and ) have been killed; 73000 wounded; thousands more under the rubble, have got killed? Because it’s their fault they didn’t get away from the thoughtful IDF?
Instead of broadcasting this all over the internet the best course of action would have been to leave the equipment where it was for the IDF to collect later.
Then a full investigation could be carried out.
And do you really think it would be? Or that the public would be told about it?
Ir that the IDF would sanction the soldier?
