more than 25,000 Palestinians.

Ou r colleagues at Independent Television# News have sent us evidence of one more death,## an apparently unarmed man walking with# a group of men under a white flag with## their hands up.

ITN's cameraman# in Gaza documented the killing.

The reporter is John Irvine in Israel.

And a# caution: This story includes images of violence.

JOHN IRVINE: This is the edge of# the supposedly safe area called# Al-Mawasi that the Israelis have been# encouraging Gaza civilians to flee to.

These makeshift homes have been vacated# because the war is getting closer.

The## billowing smoke was evidence of the# new Israeli offensive in Khan Yunis## that has been forcing more families# to evacuate and seek safety elsewhere.

HAZEM AHMAD, Displaced Palestinian# (through translator): No place safely in## Gaza.

Everywhere you any building, in the street, everywhere you# are.

They will give you a chance sometimes## just for five minutes sometimes, do not# give you any chance to take your clothes,## to take your children, to take your# family, and to get out of the building.

This is our life in Gaza.

It's very difficult.

JOHN IRVINE: These pictures were# filmed by a cameraman working## for ITV News in Gaza.

As he moved# forwards towards the combat he noticed this group of men doing their# utmost to appear nonthreatening, trying to## proceed with care.

They wanted to reach two other# family members and get them out of harm's way.

RAMZI ABU SAHLOUL, Displaced Gazan (through# translator): I have my mother and brother## in there with around 5 to evacuate, but they didn't let my brother out.# We want to go and try to get them, God willing.

JOHN IRVINE: The interview complete, our# cameraman walked away.

And then this happened.

(GUNSHOT) them place their flag on his chest.

As he was# carried away, the white flag was turning red.

"Carry him.

They have killed him," yells# this youth.

Then,suddenly, more gunfire.

(GUNSHOTS) JOHN IRVINE: They scream at a# child, telling him to find cover.

By this stage, the man's wife, his widow, has# heard what happened.

And as she rushes to the## scene, she meets the party carrying away# the body on a makeshift stretcher.

When## they're satisfied they're a safe distance# away, they stop, and the mourning starts.

GEOFF BENNETT: We asked the Israel Defense# Forces to respond to the story today.

A spokesman said -- quote --# "We're not aware of the event,## and it's still under examination."

An Israeli# defense official later told that an Israeli analysis of the audio found# that two weapons fired shots.

They say one## was an automatic that fired three bullets,# and the rate of fire does not correspond## to any rifle used by the Israeli military.

The# official added they are investigating further.
