Ben-Shitrit responds by saying that the military prosecutor and the whole nation should “kiss our hands”, since the force behaves so ethically, doing “holy work.” He continues:

“We could have just cocked our weapons and killed them all on the floor, from the nature of things because you want to kill that person with a machete… I’m ready until my hand gets tired.”

But then he restrains himself: “But we are a state of law, and it’s the IDF, and there is international law.”1

This was not the first time Ben-Shitrit had shared his murderous fantasies. These comments echoed an earlier video he did in June 2023 when he was an army reservist in the West Bank, where he wondered:

“Why can’t we go in with Negev machine guns? Why can’t we go in with MAG machine guns? And why can’t we go in with the holding force of a grenade launcher, to such a place full of terrorists? Two days ago, all these terrorists were standing there, 150-200 armed terrorists. Why don’t we get 3-4 attack helicopters up in the sky and spray everyone?”

According to Drop Site News, Khalil and fellow journalist Zeinab Faraj were working in southern Lebanon when a car they were following was hit by an Israeli drone strike at 2:45 pm local time, killing its occupants. Khalil and Faraj sought shelter in a nearby house, where Khalil called her editors and family. While Khalil was still alive, Lebanese president Joseph Aoun released a statement calling on the Red Cross and United Nations to help rescue Khalil and Faraj. At 4:27 pm, the house where Khalil and Faraj were sheltering was bombed by the Israeli military. The Red Cross attempted a rescue and successfully evacuated Faraj, who was injured, and two civilians who had been killed, but were forced to withdraw before reaching Khalil as the Israeli military fired on their vehicles and position. The Red Cross was eventually able to return to the area, where Khalil was pronounced dead.

The 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), representing over one million members and nearly 8,000 congregations, voted 454-15 on June 30, 2026 in Milwaukee to officially declare Israel's war in Gaza a genocide and a violation of international law. The same assembly also voted unanimously to divest from Palantir Technologies and GE Aerospace, whose AI targeting and aircraft engine technologies are used by the Israeli military. Members are called to lobby Congress for an arms embargo against Israel and boycott Israeli products contributing to the war.

The PCUSA was the first major institution worldwide to divest from companies profiting from Israeli occupation, beginning in 2014, and declared Israel an apartheid state in 2022. A Palestinian Christian from Nazareth told commissioners her family sheltering in Gaza's Saint Porphyrius Church was killed in an Israeli airstrike, including two doctors and a six-month-old baby. In a related development, the American Academy of Religion, with 6,000 members worldwide, separately voted 98% in favor of a resolution calling the war a "scholasticide," describing it as an intentional effort to destroy the Palestinian education system.
