He was trying to reach his family in Shujaiya, he had not heard from them and was worried about them. They shot him, and then continued to fire as he was on the ground. We had no choice but to retreat. We couldn\u2019t reach him due to the artillery fire and then he stopped moving.\u201d Stated Joe Catron, US International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activist in Gaza. \u201cShajiya is a smoking wasteland. We just passed two bombed out ambulances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">The Israel military has also shelled Red Crescent ambulances as they attempted to retrieve injured people in the Shujaiya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City. A ceasefire was announced, during which injured and dead people, could be evacuated from the area, in which at least 60 people have been killed today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sBakqLUBWP0<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"sBakqLUBWP0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Israeli sniper killing wounded civilian\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sBakqLUBWP0?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/blogs\/ali-abunimah\/war-crime-video-shows-sniper-killing-wounded-gaza-civilian\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video has emerged of the targeting and killing by a sniper of a Palestinian civilian in Gaza City\u2019s\u00a0Shujaiya\u00a0neighborhood where Israeli shelling\u00a0killed dozens of civilians\u00a0and caused massive destruction early on Sunday morning.
