Israel’s army apologises for killing three hostages in Gaza | BBC News
There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

At least 224 people are dead and a state of emergency has been declared after Colombia was hit by one of its largest earthquakes in years.
The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in Chocó province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.
Many of the deaths have been concentrated in Cali, Colombia’s third most populous city.

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.

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..

I wish your prime minister would take a man's part and tell Netanyahu to stop or else, rather than give him unconditional support, as he has done so far in this genocide.

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.
