Distressing detail regarding hostages killed by Israeli soldiers

Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip continues. In the attacks carried out by the Israeli army against civilians, Israelis held captive in the region are also becoming targets.

While the statement made yesterday by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari that 3 Israeli hostages were "mistakenly" killed caused a major backlash in Israel, another Israeli official made a shocking statement.

"TWO HOSTAGES DIED RIGHT THERE"

The unnamed Israeli military official announced that the 3 Israeli hostages killed in the northern Gaza Strip were carrying a white flag as a sign of truce. Speaking to reporters by phone, the official said, “The hostages were all shirtless and had a stick with a white cloth hanging from it.

The soldier perceived them as a threat and opened fire. Two hostages died right there, while the other took refuge in a building as he was wounded, but the 3rd hostage was also killed by a soldier the moment he emerged from the building,” he said.

In his statement yesterday, IDF Spokesperson Hagari announced that 3 Israelis held captive in the Gaza Strip were perceived as a threat by soldiers, after which the soldiers opened fire on the hostages. While he identified the killed hostages as Yotam Haim and Samer Talalka, he did not disclose the name of the 3rd hostage at the request of his family.
