Israeli Army's Fatal Mistake: Accidentally Killing Three Hostages in Gaza

The Israeli army has admitted to mistakenly killing three captives held by Palestinian armed groups in Gaza during combat. The captives, who were identified as three young men abducted during a Hamas attack, were erroneously identified as a threat by Israeli troops. The army expressed condolences to the families and promised a transparent investigation. The incident occurred amid ongoing fierce battles between Israeli troops and Palestinian fighters in the area. Israel has been working to bring home all the hostages taken during the attack, with 110 already freed. The US and Israel are discussing a timetable for scaling back the offensive against Hamas, while Israeli air raids and shelling continue in Gaza.
