Israel says it's still investigating an incident in which IDF forces killed three Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Israel says it's still investigating what led to its forces killing three hostages last week.
The incident took place in Gaza's Shijaiyah neighborhood, which is a densely urban area that the IDF has been active in for the past few weeks.
The three hostages approached an IDF position in the neighborhood while attempting to find safety.
Unfortunately, an IDF soldier opened fire on them, killing two of them while the third one fled into a building. After hearing that third one say "help" in Hebrew, the commander of the IDF's positions there said to stop firing. But when the third person came into the open, another soldier shot and killed him.
This was after the IDF passed a building nearby with two banners on it. Messages written in old food read "SOS" and "HELP — 3 HOSTAGES."
