ITV Cameraman Captures Gazan Civilian Shot and Killed Moments After Interview

An ITV News cameraman captured the moment an unarmed Gazan man was shot dead while part of a group holding a white flag just moments after the network’s journalists on the ground had interviewed him.

The video shows a group of men standing with their hands up and waving a white flag as they seek to evacuate their families from a building in Al Mawasi in southern Gaza, a former so-called “safe zone.” The victim, identified as Ramzi Abu Sahloul, had just spoken to ITV News explaining that he was trying to get his mother and brother out of the building.

Another of the group told reporters: “Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Everywhere you find the Israeli Army. They shoot us at home, in any building and in the street.”

Tragically, moments after the interview, Sahloul was shot.

As others attempted to carry his body to safety, the white flag, internationally recognised as a symbol of surrender or truce, was used to cover Sahloul’s fatal wounds. His wife was later seen mourning his loss.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF), when approached by ITV News for comment, denied awareness of the incident. Questioned further, the IDF dismissed the video as “clearly edited” and refused to comment further.

The death toll in Gaza has risen to over 25,000 fatalities and 62,000 injured, as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the campaign to dismantle Hamas and secure the return of all hostages will continue until completion.
