Israeli Forces Shot Bnei Awda Family in Tammun, Al-Jazeera Net Says

Al-Jazeera Net frames Israel’s conduct in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as a “duality” in which the Israeli military establishment seeks to “repair an ‘ethical image’” while “bless[ing] the hands of its soldiers as they trampled the blood and honor of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.”

“Among the ruins of Lebanon's churches and the alleys of death in the Gaza Strip, the outlines of a 'duality' that eyes cannot miss were drawn, as the Israeli military establishment moved with full force to repair an 'ethical image' damaged by a soldier who smashed a statue of 'Christ' in southern Lebanon, amid global rejection of the assault, while at the same time it blessed the hands of its soldiers as they trampled the blood and honor of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank”

The article says the paradox is driven by “selectivity of accountability,” citing Haaretz’s comparison that “the killing of Palestinians and the destruction in Gaza and the West Bank received less sympathy than the destruction of the statue of Jesus Christ by an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon.”

It adds that “silence prevailed regarding the blood of the Bnei Awda family in the West Bank,” describing that “four members of the family were shot by Israeli forces targeting their car in the town of Tammun on March 15.”

Al-Jazeera Net also asserts that “Since the beginning of the Gaza war, 13 Palestinians have been killed by settler attacks and 12 by direct Israeli fire,” and says “In most cases, the shooters are not arrested; they are settlers serving in the reserves.”

The same source describes “organized massacres” by “dozens of masked young settlers using clubs and incendiary devices in swift raids,” and says security forces are “absent from the scene” until after the raids end.

It further claims that Israeli soldiers turned “TikTok, Instagram, and Telegram into arenas” to film attacks, including “breaking into Gaza homes” and “celebrating the bombing,” while “officials failed to condemn them.”

Al-Jazeera Net’s account of accountability centers on what it calls a pattern of unequal scrutiny, contrasting responses to violence against Palestinians with reactions to an incident in southern Lebanon.

It says Haaretz argued that “the killing of Palestinians and the destruction in Gaza and the West Bank received less sympathy than the destruction of the statue of Jesus Christ by an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon.”

The article then points to the West Bank case of the Bnei Awda family, stating that “four members of the family were shot by Israeli forces targeting their car in the town of Tammun on March 15,” and it adds that the “Justice Ministry's investigation unit did not deem it necessary to interview the officers involved in the killing.”

Al-Jazeera Net further claims that “misconduct by Israeli security forces in the West Bank does not receive serious attention unless it is directed at American journalists, not Palestinians.”

It also says Haaretz described accountability as conditional on international visibility, writing that “accountability only appears if the act can provoke international responses, or if the victim holds American citizenship.”

The article’s narrative extends to how it characterizes the Israeli military’s public posture, saying that “This paradox is not something we wrote; rather, it are loud confessions that came from 'inside the Israeli house'.”

In that framing, the “utter silence” of Tel Aviv is presented as a policy that allows “grievous crimes” to be treated as “mere 'technical mistakes' when the victim is Palestinian.”

Outside the immediate battlefield, multiple Asian outlets report that India’s Congress party attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over what it described as silence on Israel’s actions in Gaza and heavy bombardment of Lebanon.

Pratidin Time

Pratidin Time says the Congress party launched a “sharp attack” on Modi, accusing him of maintaining silence over “Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza and heavy bombardment in Lebanon,” and it characterizes that silence as “moral cowardice.”

The outlet quotes Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh saying the government has moved away from “India’s traditional foreign policy values and basic human principles,” and it reports that Ramesh posted on X about Modi not commenting on “continuing violence in Gaza and Lebanon” and “the displacement of large numbers of Palestinians in the West Bank.”

The Siasat Daily similarly reports that Congress accused Modi of “moral cowardice” for his “total silence” on the “continued genocide” by Israel in Gaza and its heavy bombing of Lebanon, and it quotes Ramesh saying, “The Prime Minister has been demonstrating moral cowardice by his total silence on the continued genocide by Israel in Gaza and its heavy bombing of Lebanon.”

It adds that Ramesh alleged Modi kept “completely quiet on the dispossession and displacement of lakhs of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank,” and it repeats the party’s claim that “no government has shown so much solidarity with the ‘murderous Israeli regime’ as his dispensation has.”

Outlook India likewise reports that Ramesh said Modi ignored “Israel’s continued genocide in Gaza” and “its severe bombing of Lebanon,” and it quotes him on X that “No government has demonstrated such solidarity with the murderous Israeli regime while betraying human values and India’s long-standing positions.”

Across these reports, the Congress party also links its criticism to Modi’s February visit to Israel, describing it as “cynical and hypocritical” in relation to statements on Palestinian support.

Al-Jazeera Net describes the war’s visibility as something it says Israeli soldiers themselves amplified through social media, portraying “extermination on live air” as a public spectacle.

It says the war savagery in Gaza and the West Bank was not confined to “reports circulated behind closed doors,” but instead was “demonstrated by Israeli soldiers themselves in front of the world’s eyes.”

The Siasat Daily

The article claims soldiers “turned TikTok, Instagram, and Telegram into arenas to display it with all its pomp in Gaza,” and it describes them “boast[ing] as they film themselves breaking into Gaza homes, trying the residents' underwear, celebrating the bombing, and posing next to revenge writings or beside the bodies of Palestinian dead.”

It adds that “Haaretz said that while the army spoke out against these posts, officials failed to condemn them,” presenting a gap between internal statements and external accountability.

The article also says Israeli soldiers “continued to target Palestinian civilians on several religious occasions, especially during Ramadan,” and it specifies that they “deliberately break[ed] into their homes during the pre-dawn hours.”

In one case, it says “video footage showed Israeli soldiers assaulting a Palestinian detainee in the Sde,” but the excerpt cuts off before completing the location or details.

The same source also says that “Despite recent condemnations from the government and the Chief of Staff, they came as a result of pressure from the United States,” and it argues that “the rate of attacks has risen noticeably.”

Across the sources, the reported next steps and political pressure are framed through accountability mechanisms and international influence.

“Among the ruins of Lebanon's churches and the alleys of death in the Gaza Strip, the outlines of a 'duality' that eyes cannot miss were drawn, as the Israeli military establishment moved with full force to repair an 'ethical image' damaged by a soldier who smashed a statue of 'Christ' in southern Lebanon, amid global rejection of the assault, while at the same time it blessed the hands of its soldiers as they trampled the blood and honor of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank”

Al-Jazeera Net

Al-Jazeera Net says “The newspaper concluded that these assaults will continue as long as the government does not decide to put an end to this phenomenon,” and it adds that the phenomenon “clearly does not serve the current government’s interests.”

It also states that “Despite recent condemnations from the government and the Chief of Staff, they came as a result of pressure from the United States,” and it asserts that “the rate of attacks has risen noticeably.”

In the Indian political sphere, the Congress party’s reported actions are aimed at forcing Modi to speak, with Pratidin Time saying Ramesh alleged the Prime Minister “has not commented on what theCongressdescribed as continuing violence in Gaza and Lebanon,” and it reports the party’s claim that the government has shown “solidarity” with “Israel” while failing to uphold humanitarian values.

Siasat Daily reports that Ramesh said the Modi government has “betrayed all human values,” and it repeats the party’s claim that Modi’s statements on Palestinian support are “cynical and hypocritical.”

Outlook India similarly reports that Congress condemned Modi’s February visit to Israel, calling the statements on support for Palestinians “cynical and hypocritical,” and it ties the criticism to Congress’s earlier claim that Israel is advancing a “Greater Israel” vision.

Taken together, the sources depict a conflict in which accountability is contested and political statements are used to apply pressure, whether through domestic opposition in India or through claims of international scrutiny in the Gaza and West Bank context.
