ID soldiers testify to systematic killing of Palestinians in Gaza via weaponized drones
[Warning: story contains graphic descriptions]
Testimonies from soldiers who served in Gaza reveal extensive use of weaponized commercial drones modified to drop grenades on Palestinians. The soldiers describe frequently targeting unarmed civilians, including women and children, often to force them out of their homes.
[...] S said he saw some of the bodies through drone cameras. According to him, because the killing is done far from where the soldiers are, "the bodies aren't collected. The dogs eat them. You can see it through the cameras. I wouldn't be able to see a dog eating a body at any moment. The people around me did. The dogs are already conditioned to run to places where there's gunfire or explosions, as they understand this means a chance of finding a body."
Videos of such attacks, originally shared by soldiers, show grenades being dropped on fleeing civilians. Survivors and residents attest to the use of drones to displace large populations in line with military objectives and policies of evacuation.

in reply to oatmeal • • •[follow up] Autel Robotics accused of selling drones to Israeli military used in Gaza
Autel Robotics, a Chinese drone manufacturer, is facing accusations of selling its drones to the Israeli military, which reportedly used them to fire grenades at unarmed civilians in #Gaza, including children. The company denies knowingly selling to #Israel and claims the sales were unauthorized. However, evidence suggests otherwise, including a public tender by the Israeli Defense Ministry for Autel drones and statements from an Israeli distributor who claims to have facilitated these sales. Autel is considering legal action against the distributor.
[โฆ] Autel Robotics announced after the outbreak of the war in 2023 that it would stop selling drones "to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone," in accordance with regulations in China that prohibit the sale of civilian drones for military use. The company stated in response to the exposure by "Shecha Mekomit" that it "believes that technology should not be used as a means of harm or oppression," and strongly condemns this use. According to the company, not only was it unaware of the offensive military use of the drones, but it also did not make any sales to marketers or importers in Israel โ either directly or through a third party โ and it is unknown how they ended up in the hands of soldiers in the army.

Correction: the term is offensive primarily to people who hold Zionist commitments, some of whom are also Jewish. It is the reality of ongoing genocide, apartheid, forced displacement, and other crimes against humanity that is offensive to the overwhelming majority of Jewish people I know who are not also committed to Zionism as a political project.
