Israel’s army apologises for killing 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.

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.

Just last week the Israeli army showed us so-called "Hamas soldiers" who surrendered Kalashnicov in their hands but curiously the Israeli army did not shoot at them!!! While these 3 soldiers were flying white flags and shouting for help in Hebrew 😮😮😮 and they shot at them This army is trying to lie to us and the worst is that it is doing it very badly She no longer knows where to put her head because she is so stuck in Gaza

On the same day, the IDF also recovered the bodies of 3 more (all military, so PoWs) that they'd killed in circumstances that haven't been revealed.
2:50 What he said is that they were dressed as civilians; apparently cause for the IDF, who are occupying a settlement that's home to millions of civilians, to shoot to kill. He neglected to mention that they were carrying white flags.
It is far past time that the IDF and their allies are relocated to the Hague.
Rome Statute – Article 33
Superior orders and prescription of law
1. The fact that a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court has been committed by a person pursuant to an
order of a Government or of a superior, whether military or civilian, shall not relieve that person of criminal
responsibility unless:
(a) The person was under a legal obligation to obey orders of the Government or the superior in question;
(b) The person did not know that the order was unlawful; and
(c) The order was not manifestly unlawful.
2. For the purposes of this article, orders to commit genocide or crimes against humanity are manifestly unlawful.
Every member of that putrid organisation is as guilty as sin.

So how do they treat the Palestinians?! The answer: They killed more than 20,000 people, most of them children, women, and the elderly. And we do not forget the injured people who did not have a hospital to be treated in. And the children who died of hunger and cold.

That is disingenuous of the BBC not to mention that contrary to what this officer is saying, there are reports that the three men were stripped to the waist and waving white flags approaching the soldiers.
The fact that they were shot implies that this is what soldiers are doing to other clearly unarmed Palestinian males..
One of the men, wounded, it was reported managed to get away to the shelter of a building but was pursued and even though he must have been speaking Hebrew saying who he was they shot him dead.
Was this man killed rather than taken back alive to prevent him telling what he saw both before and during the shooting of them? That the others were killed while waving white flags and unclothed from the waist up to show they were not hiding weapons? And obviously one assumes identifying themselves as hostages in Hebrew as they approached..

It’s almost like Israel is sacrificing some of its citizens for its greater purpose: Invading Gaza. Israel has one of the most secured and monitored borders yet some amateurs were able to deceive the system? Of course not, Israel let it happen. They’ve sacrificed 1,000+ citizens and in return they get the whole Gaza Strip and possibly the West Bank in the future ?? Sounds like a good deal

Talk about bloodthirsty. They're seeing their troops being slaughtered and want to avenge them by killing any moving object. What a bunch of losers.
