(8,979 posts)Is there a video, what does it show, who made it, and what is intended by its making and distribution.
First, IDF is not known for making or permitting videos of executions. Terrorists are.
Second, does the video, if it exists and is not a deep fake, show individuals in IDF uniforms killing unarmed captives? I recall reports of Hamas terrorists donning IDF uniforms acquired during their assault on IDF bases during the Oct.7 attack. Such a video might actually show terrorists, dressed in IDF uniforms, executing hostages.
Third, is the making and release of such a video a false flag tactic to inflame anti-Israeli sentiment? The making and release of execution videos is an established terrorist tactic, but wholly out of character and counter-productive to Israel's objectives.
If the actors, events and video are genuine, there will be investigations. I will keep an open mind pending the outcome.
