Original Note:
The IDF did not “mistakenly” shoot the hostages. They mistook their identities, but shot them on purpose, even though they were unarmed. They hostages were shirtless and waived a white flag when gunned down. One escaped & begged for his life, but was killed nonetheless. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/12/16/world/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/16/idf-says-hostages-it-killed-were-bare-chested-and-waving-white-flag https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-12-15/ty-article/.premium/israeli-army-says-killed-three-hostages-mistakenly-identified-as-threat-in-northern-gaza/0000018c-6edd-dbd5-a39c-ffff08470000 https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/idf-press-releases-regarding-the-hamas-israel-war/december-pr/during-combat-in-shejaiya-the-idf-mistakenly-identified-3-israeli-hostages-as-a-threat-and-fired-toward-them-as-a-result-they-were-killed/
