Israeli Soldiers Ignored Cries for Help Before Mistakenly Shooting Hostages in Gaza: Military Investigation Reveals

Tel Aviv –

Revealed in a military investigation Israel that his soldiers ignored cries for help when storming a building in Gaza Stripa few days before the soldiers mistakenly shot dead three Israeli hostages in an incident that angered the hostage’s family.

As reported AFP and Al Arabiya, Friday (29/12/2023), this fact was revealed in the results of an Israeli military investigation which was released to the public on Thursday (28/12) local time. The fatal shooting by Israeli soldiers which killed three hostages occurred in mid-December.

It said in the report that Israeli soldiers also heard shouts of “hostage” in Hebrew on December 10, but interpreted it as a “terrorist deception attempt” by Hamas to lure the soldiers into a building in Gaza City’s Shejaiya district.

Believing the building was rigged with explosives, Israeli soldiers rushed out and killed five Hamas militants who tried to escape.

The hostages, according to the report, may have also escaped from the building, and on December 15, Israeli soldiers shot the hostages after misidentifying them as a threat.

Two hostages died instantly at the location. One other hostage escaped, and Israeli soldiers were ordered to hold fire to identify him.

Hearing cries of “Help!” and “They are shooting at me”, the commanders of Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip asked the one surviving hostage to move towards them. However, according to the report, two of the soldiers “did not listen to orders” because of the “noise” from a nearby tank shot the hostage dead.
