"The video, shot by a drone, lasts just a few seconds. The Palestinian teenager appears to be unarmed when he is shot in the head. Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed."
"A five-month investigation by the Guardian, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) and Paper Trail Media, Der Spiegel and ZDF has identified six people shot by Israeli snipers on 22 November 2023. And through interviews with survivors, witnesses and relatives, reviews of death certificates, medical records and geolocated images we revealed how a family from Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood was torn apart in a few hours by men who grew up in Naperville, Illinois and Munich, Germany."
Daniel Raab, a former varsity basketball player turned Israeli sniper, watched drone footage showing 19-year-old Salem Doghmosh collapse after being shot. Raab admitted shooting Salem despite recognizing he was unarmed because Salem tried to retrieve his brother Mohammed’s body. A five-month investigation identified six people shot by Israeli snipers on 22 November 2023 and found four members of the Doghmosh family were killed and two injured that day. The incident highlights patterns of Israeli troops treating unarmed men aged 18–40 in Gaza as targets and the wider civilian toll in the conflict.
