The Israeli military said the incident in which it killed three hostages by mistakenly recognizing them as Hamas members was a complete mission failure. The Israeli military said that although commanders ordered them to stop shooting, the orders were not properly conveyed due to the loud noise made by the tanks.

Israeli troops shot three hostages found in the Gaza Strip on the 15th.
They were mistaken for Hamas members.
Two people were killed in the initial shooting, and one person escaped to a nearby building.
Announcing the results of the investigation into the incident at the time, the Israeli military said that the field commanders ordered them to stop shooting, but soldiers who could not hear due to the noise of the tanks opened fire, killing one other person.
It was confirmed that the three hostages who died were shirtless and were waving white flags, signifying surrender, and shouting for help.

Local Israeli media reported that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will convene the war cabinet to discuss post-war governance of the Gaza Strip.
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, known as Prime Minister Netanyahu’s closest confidant, previously visited the United States and discussed issues such as post-war governance of the Gaza Strip.
The United States has been putting pressure on Israel, demanding that it establish a post-war plan. Currently, there is a difference of opinion between the United States, which says that the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, should play a role, and Israel, which says that Israel should have control over the West Bank.
As fighting between Hamas and the Israeli military continues, the number of deaths in the Gaza Strip exceeds 21,000, and the UN urged the Israeli military to stop illegal killings, saying in a report that 300 people were killed not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank.
U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken is scheduled to visit Israel early next month to discuss post-war plans, and attention is focused on whether pressure from the U.S. and criticism of human rights abuses from the international community can change the course of the war.
