Haaretz newspaper revealed that the Israeli army admitted the killing of the defenseless elderly man, whose execution Al Jazeera published in a house west of Gaza, indicating that it was investigating the circumstances of his death.

The Hebrew newspaper said that the Israeli army used the excuse that its forces were operating in a complex combat zone when they killed the defenseless elderly man.

Al Jazeera broadcast scenes documenting the killing of an unarmed elderly Palestinian by Israeli soldiers during their storming of a house west of Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip.

The scenes - which were filmed by an Israeli soldier's camera - showed the moments when the soldiers stormed the house and killed the elderly man who was alone in the house.
