The Israeli military has revealed that it has killed three hostages being held by terrorist group Hamas “by mistake” after “accidentally” identifying them as a threat.<\/p>\n

The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) revealed that during fighting in Shejaiya soldiers “mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a threat”.<\/p>\n

An IDF spokesperson added: “As a result, the troops fired toward them and they were killed. During searches and checks in the area in which the incident occurred, a suspicion arose over the identities of the deceased.<\/p>\n

“Their bodies were transferred to Israeli territory for examination, after which it was confirmed that they were three Israeli hostages.”<\/p>\n

Both were taken hostage during Hamas’ attack on October 7.<\/p>\n

The family of the third hostage has been informed of the incident but asked for his name not to be released.<\/p>\n
