Genocide is the goal. How do you negotiate peace between 2 sides that 100 % believe the other side should be eradicated
The cynic in me thinks the IDF would not use $3000 in munitions to kill four random guys. Bullets are dirt cheap fpv bomb drones are expensive. From that I can only assume someone really wanted to kill one of them for some reason that we can not determine from the limited footage. I'm not saying war crimes including intentional starvation and indiscriminate fire are not happening but I don't think this is one of them this looks far too coordinated and planned to be a random act of aggression.
This isn't the first or even new example, it's been happening for years. Even to the point where Hamas and other militant groups claimed that the IDF was poor at infantry fighting which is why they overly rely on vehicles and standoff weapons.
I think it's just that because Israel is doing a large scale offensive, the fog of "they were Hamas" doesn't fly anymore so its much more reportable in the media, along with an increase of examples.
For those that haven't seen the video yet:
NSFL(Death + Gore): Video mirror
Bombings at 1:00, 1:50 and 2:15

This is going to be unpopular, but how do we know they're non-combatants? Just because they're unarmed at the moment the video is filmed, doesn't make the non-combatants, AFAIK.
We're basing this on the opinion of a a biased reporter, who wached the video and described what they saw?
Disclaimer, required around here:
Fuck Israeli Government.
Fuck Hamas.
If Israel brought out video evidence of these specific guys doing stuff before then I'd agree. But with their track record the burden is definitely on them to prove these guys were combatants they just happened to catch unaware.
I'm sure the Israeli government has a lot of their hands right now to comment on every twitter video posted by a person who's location is set to Gaza.
If this is actually a war crime, I hope the culprits are punished accordingly.
Other than that, I'm going to treat this as yet another twitter video, without context, cut to fit an agenda, with some blood-boiling comment.
They're welcome to send that proof to the NYT.
If you've ever seen a Hamas video they sneak through the opnenings in the sides of buildings. They certainly don't walk around in the open like this without worries.
The burden of evidence lies on israel, and just like that time they drone striked an ambulance, no evidence will be presented.
If Isreal keeps this up I wouldn't be surprised if the neo-nazis start gaining traction again.
Germany just had one of it's largest marches because the Neo-Nazis, Conservative Party, and Nationalists where caught plotting to take over the government and take Germany back to being controlled by some nationalist nazi party
As if they aren't already
