In November 2023, "Sergeant D." and his partner Daniel G. reached the Gaza City quarter of Tel al-Hawa, taking up position in a building in so-called Barcelona Park. "That was my first elimination," says »Sergeant D.« later in his video interview. A photo from this period, which DER SPIEGEL has obtained, shows "Sergeant D." sitting on a plastic chair in a room painted in pink. According to "Sergeant D.," the images from a thermal camera showing one of two passersby being shot also come from this area. It is the scene described by "Sergeant D." in the interview, in which he says it was his "zemed" who had fired the shot.
