Mohammed Doghmosh, 26, and other unarmed members of his family, shot by Israeli snipers when they crossed an invisible line

In a five-month investigation, the Guardian, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) and Paper Trail Media, Der Spiegel, and ZDF identified six people shot by Israeli snipers on November 22, 2023. The Guardian published the results on September 6.

The investigation included interviews with survivors, witnesses and relatives, reviews of death certificates, medical records and geolocated images. It showed how a family from Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighborhood was torn apart in a few hours by men who grew up in Naperville, Illinois, and Munich, Germany. 

When asked how his squad decided whether to shoot unarmed Palestinians, one of the snipers answered, “It’s a question of distance. There is a line that we define. They don’t know where this line is, but we do.”
