The Israeli army killed a disabled Palestinian man in a targeted strike in southern Gaza at the end of May, claiming he was identified as a “terrorist.”

The man was seen in IDF drone footage from Khan Yunis walking with a limp before being struck by munitions launched from either a drone or a loitering munition.

The IDF confirmed the strike, stating that the man had been “identified as a terrorist observing troops and moving between buildings used for terrorist activity.”

An investigation by Haaretz revealed that the man killed was Muhammad al-Farra, an older civilian with cerebral palsy resulting from a childhood car accident. He walked with a limp and had special needs. His sister, Heba al-Farra, who survived the strike, identified him in the video.

    I am not an expert but I dont think thats accurate. They think their god will judge them based on their intentions and life, and suicide WILL be held against you in your judgement, but being whole of body will not.

    Martyrdom for the benefit of the community or Allah is also not held against you, and is not considered suicide.
