The Israeli army in December killed three captives in Gaza by mistake and kept this information hidden from the public, local Israeli media said Monday.

The three captives – among the roughly 250 taken by Hamas and other Palestinian groups during the October 7 attack in southern Israel – were killed in an airstrike that allegedly targeted a senior military leader of Hamas in the enclave’s north, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.

The Israeli army acknowledged it had killed the three following the Channel 12 report, however rejected that it had attempted a coverup.

In another incident, a December investigation revealed that Israeli soldiers ignored cries for "help" when they stormed a Gaza building holding three hostages just days before killing them by mistake.

How many others have they not admitted to yet because the media wasn’t able to present it?

Would not surprise me if after this is over, that it turns out the IDF killed more hostages than Hamas.

Well when you can blame anything on Hamas this is bound to happen

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago

They probably already did that on Oct 7 itself. All those burnt out cars were hit by IDF Apache helicopters that had no information about who was in them.

There are many things I believe someone can accidentally do. Murder isn’t one of them.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

No, because technically it becomes manslaughter.

Oopsie doodle!

I believe it was a mistake. They're usually proud of their murders and will not go out of their way to hide them.
