The IDF will likely try to claim that they thought she was a sniper, but if that were true they wouldn't be standing around in the middle of the street before they shot.

You can read the words of the event, but like you said watching their behavior says everything. It's like US police claiming they feared for their life. They casually stand there, like any other day at work, and attempt to murder a young girl, and probably joked about it after.
