Al Jazeera reported that video from Gaza shows an Israeli quadcopter shooting a man while he was seated at a table with other people. The broadcaster identified the man as Khalil al-Masri and said he later died from his injuries.
According to Al Jazeera, al-Masri was among seven Palestinians killed in Gaza on Sunday. The broadcaster said the deaths breached the ceasefire that has been in place since October 2025.
The video, published by Al Jazeera on June 15, 2026, shows al-Masri sitting with others before he is shot, according to the broadcaster’s description. Al Jazeera described the weapon as an Israeli quadcopter, a small drone type used for close-range operations.
Al Jazeera did not provide further details in its report about the location in Gaza, the identities of the other people at the table, or the circumstances before the shooting. It also did not include a response from Israeli authorities in the material available.
The reported killing adds to accusations that the October 2025 ceasefire has been violated in Gaza. Al Jazeera said Sunday’s toll included seven Palestinians killed across the territory, with al-Masri one of those deaths.
The broadcaster framed the video as evidence of a fatal drone shooting during the ceasefire period. News.cx could not independently verify the footage from the information available.
