Israeli Soldiers Gave Her Water and Shot Her Head - The Palestinian Information Center
Under the sounds of the Israeli bombardment and shelling on Gaza Strip in the summer of 2014, an Israeli soldier approached a 74-year-old Palestinian woman, Ghalya Abu-Rida, to give her a sip of water. He gave her the water and took a photo with her. He, then, shot her in the head from a one-meter distance to end her life as a martyr after watching her bleed to death.
This is how Ahmad Qdeh, a journalist in Al-Aqsa T.V., described the scene that he witnessed during the latest Israeli aggression and still remembers its details. The spokesman of the Israeli army, Avichay Adraee, shared the photo of an Israeli soldier holding the water bottle and helping the old woman drink as an example of the “humanity” of the Israeli army towards the civilians in the Gaza Strip.
