Der Spiegel has published accounts from ten Israeli soldiers describing extrajudicial killings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, according to Middle East Eye. The soldiers recounted how troops killed unarmed men and falsely classified them as "terrorists" in official records.
One soldier quoted in the German publication stated: "My unit killed many unarmed men." The accounts suggest a pattern of misreporting civilian deaths as militant casualties during the ongoing conflict.
