The case of Mahmoud Kheireddine.
How Israel used a fake 'humanitarian' group inside Gaza; and how a Palestinian, even when he served in the IDF, was still only regarded by Israel as a second class citizen. Palestian Mahmoud Kheireddine was killed serving as an IDF commando in Gaza. While Housing Minister Yoav Galant was attending the mourning tent, Kheireddine's father denounced him: "My son gave you his life, but you were too miserly to give him a building permit!" Israeli Commando Operation Exploited Gaza Humanitarian Relief NGO as Front.
