Dec 15 (Reuters) - The Israeli military mistakenly killed three hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas during an incident which is “under review”, a military spokesperson said on Friday.
The military said the hostages were killed during combat with militants in Gaza and expressed its condolences to the families while saying there would be “full transparency” in the investigation into the incident.
A statement from the military said that during an intense battle in Gaza it “identified three Israeli hostages as a threat”. “As a result, the troops fired toward them and they were killed.”
Earlier on Friday, the Israeli military said it had recovered the bodies of three Israelis - a civilian and two soldiers - who had been held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas.
Critical support to Comrade IDF’s ongoing war against Israeli settlers. This is their greatest achievement since shooting their civilians with helicopters.
Imagine if the IDF turned on Israel 🤔 would they be able to liberate the Palestinian people?
I have faith that they will in the end.
-
The IDF funded Hamas which today is the only force militantly liberating the Palestinian people
-
The IDF did the most significant attack against Israelis in its history, both using its Hamas paramilitary forces and helicopters to make a firm statement against the illegal settlements.
Let 'em cook hostages.
