Father of hostage mistakenly killed by IDF: We demand to see documentation of the incident [View all]
Avi Shamriz, whose son Alon was taken hostage and mistakenly killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza, said that his family demands to see the incident's documentation.
In an interview with Army Radio on Friday, he said the shooting of his son and the other two hostages "was not a mistake, it was an execution – literally."
Shamriz said that the signs that were hung on the building where the hostages were held, calling for help, were written by his son, a veteran of the elite Yahalom unit.
"They did everything right – took their shirts off, hung a white flag and marched in broad daylight in the middle of the street and shouted for help, but in our army they don't know how to follow the rules of engagement," he said.
"Even if it's a terrorist, why shoot him like that? He was naked, unarmed, and even if it's a terrorist – why not shoot him in the legs? This is against all the rules taught by the IDF."
