The Israeli army has admitted to mistakenly targeting two Palestinians who were riding a bicycle in the Gaza Strip.

The army published a video in which it initially said two gunmen were targeted in a drone strike in Gaza City last week for allegedly carrying a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG).

i think the important detail here is, this was the video israel released themselves...

their best video... the one they thought would vindicate their "war on hamas" as not indiscriminately killing civilians, was them bombing civilians...
in an alley, surrounded by residential buildings...

if this is was their best choice, then the worst assumptions must be true...
