Israeli military says it mistakenly killed three hostages in Gaza – | BBC News
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The hostages held white flags. Is it possible the white flags were seen, but the IDF thought the hostages were Palestinians?

BBC why aren't u covering the atrocities more? HOW the civilians are killed compare both sides. how the hostages were were treated by Hamas AND the Palestinians, how one weapon-stash after the other is found in schools, mosks and hospitals?!? There are enough reports BY Palestinians how Hamas is treating THEM, their own….
BBC why are U mostly only covering what Israel does and says, in the most critical manner?!?
They where r*ping civilians to death.
They where they were tortur*g civilians to death.
Burning them alive. It was ALL documented.
BBC Why?

This is the same set of people that have continued to sing one of the most popular songs of the year titled "we are minimizing civilian casualties" perhaps we should beg them to stop minimizing and start maximizing

A very sad event. It is still the fault of Hamas — no matter that it is a mistake of IDF soldiers that these three hostages died; Hamas killed them by starting the war. All blood that is spilled in this war, and any wars and battles that follow due to this war, is the fault of Hamas and their supporters. They willfully started the conflict knowing what would happen – bloodshed. Their supporters are just as guilty.

"Were they dressed in a Palestian way" … so that's ok to kill a human being.. this is why I do not pay a license to the BBC.. its justified to murder a person by the way they cloth themselves?? Where is the humanity?? Why does mainstream media label humans as targets to be murdered.. THIS IS ETHNIC CLEANSING. FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY PLEASE STOP THIS…..BDS 🇵🇸

The IDF had a right to defend themselves against their own hostages. They killed their own unarmed hostages who were holding a white flag thinking they were Palestinians. Now imagine how many innocent people they are shooting on a daily basis after starving them and persecuting them the way Hitler persecuted the Jews.

Still no mention by this military spokesperson of the fact that the civilians killed in cold blood were also waving white flags as per confirmed reports; and whoops sorry but we are continuing the genocide. Israel will basically never come back from this escalation of what was already sustained violation of Palestinians' human rights for many decades.

Hamas put them in the line of fire & there were very high chances of them being killed in the cross fire.

May their souls rest in peace. I believe IDF should call for a 1 week truce and send their entire troops back to training and more specifically on International Compliance and Rules of Engagement to completely avoid Civilian casualties. Seems there is huge gap in their training that they are evening mistaking their highest sought people. Numbers don't lie and no wonder why we are seeing historic Civilian casualties and unprecedented Humanitarian Atrocities.

They are so careful and so precise that they even kill their own. But, sure, sure, they are there to free the hostages.
