As others have said, a like of wood and paper form warmth. The important part though is the person kneeling to light that on fire was not shot first, someone else standing nearby was killed. Then two other people running to the victims aid where then shot. When one of those guys trys to crawl away he gets shot again. Then when the IDF troops get there, they don’t seem to give a shit about the pile of wood/paper, they just look at they guy they killed, kick one of the wounded guys on the ground, and then leave without providing any aid.
The IDF’s story is they thought the guy lighting the pile was lighting a moltov cocktail. Bullshit, but even if so, why not shoot that guy doing the lighting instead of just some other random nearby guy? Or how do the guys coming to the first guys aid pose any kind of threat?
What’s really fucked is nothing will come of this. Just another dead Palestinian.
In a normal engagement (as normal as combat gets at any rate) you would absolutely provide aid, even to enemy fighters. Once you get up to them and they’re out of combat you’re responsible for them under international law.
No no I meant: These people weren’t in combat and were shot anyway. Intentionally. The monsters who shot them wanted them dead, so it makes a sick kind of sense that they wouldn’t provide them aid after the fact.
Not that anything justifies killing, but were they trying to set something on fire? Again, this would not justify anything.
Cardboard. For warmth. Because the Israeli government has taken away the electricity and fuel they’d otherwise use.
don’t light fires when the nazguls are about
Yes - a pile of something in the middle of the road.
The youths said it was a pile of cardboard and paper to help keep them warm. Admittedly, it was around 10°C (50°F) over the last few nights at 2am.

Jesus I couldn’t bring myself to keep watching. They didn’t have their medic provide aid? That’s a war crime all on it’s own.
Why would you help the guy you explicitly, unprovokedly tried to kill?

Yeah, it does. It definitely puts the cap on any question as to their motives.
Deserts get really cold at night, especially in the winter.
