IDF soldier who participated in the mistaken killing of three Israeli hostages in Gaza City in Dec 2023 confirmed to his mother what was widely reported at the time: they killed the men, who were waving white flags, because their unit was under orders to kill all Gazan men they encountered.

DHS calls whistleblowers a “threat to national security.”

Reminder to block or unfollow AltNPS. There are links to the YouTube exposes about the account downthread
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.
