IDF say hostages were holding white cloth on stick when mistakenly shot by Israeli forces – BBC News
The IDF – Israel’s military – says three Israeli hostages who were mistakenly killed in Gaza by the Israeli military had been holding up a white cloth on a stick.
An initial report by Israel’s military into the deaths found that the hostages were fired upon against Israel’s rules of engagement.
Protests over the killings took place in Tel Aviv, with calls for the Israeli government to do more to bring home hostages from Gaza.

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.

Israel has the right to defend itself from… shirtless hostages?
Such professionalism from the IDF, wow. One less reason for Hamas to surrender.

A tragic error? They shot people waving a white flag. They knowingly killed 3 people who were unarmed.

The Israeli military already killed over 55 hostages during the bombing of Gaza… according to the Israeli police investigation, the military and air force killed 100s of Israeli civilians on the 7 October and blamed all on Hamas. .
The last 3 hostages managed to make out from some destroyed buildings and the Israeli military killed them…There are about 170 prisoners left in Gaza according to different reports..
One Israeli soldier prisoner was killed during an Israeli special forces failed rescue attempt which left more Israeli soldiers dead and injured.

where is Netanyahu's son? Didn't he live a good life and didn't go to war? This is called a sacrifice for Netanyahu and will not stop until his goal is achieved, you are just flies for him.

The IDF was literally supposed to be there to rescue these very people. Shouldn't it be one of their top priorities to identify and protect the hostages? They clearly have pictures of the hostages with which all of the troops should have been made familiar so that they could recognize them if they encountered them. They should have been expecting to encounter them in combat situations. And one of them even had red hair, unless it had been dyed or shaved recently. Did the IDF soldiers just fire as soon as they saw people moving in their direction without any serious attempt to identify the people at whom they were shooting?

its pretty simple, they thought they were shooting unarmed Palestinians but turned out they were unnarmed israelis.

Obvious question is how many innocent Palestinians have they killed in a similar fashion. Unarmed men with no shirts on waving a white flag and the Israeli soldiers still shot them…..

Turns out Ken Livingstone and Jeremy Corbyn were absolutely spot on about how terrible these Zionists were after all. Indeed, they underestimated the depravity of these fascists.
