Last week British surgeon Nizam Mamode testified in front of a committee in the U.K. Parliament. Dr. Mamode had recently returned from working at a hospital in Central Gaza.
He told parliamentary members what he witnessed, including drones that would come down and “pick off civilians, children. And we had description after description. This is not, you know, an occasional thing. This was day after day after day.”
For months, NPR has been collecting eyewitness accounts from Gaza that corroborate Dr. Mamode’s testimony, saying the Israeli military has been using sniper drone technology and that they’re not just shooting enemies, but also civilians.
