Tragedy in Gaza: Three Hostages Mistakenly Killed by Israeli Troops
The IDF cleared for publication on Friday evening that, during combat in Shejaiya, the IDF mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a threat. 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. Their bodies were transferred to Israeli territory for examination, after which it was confirmed that they were three Israeli hostages.
Their bodies were taken to the “Hatzvi” Center at the Shura Camp for further examination, where the hostages were identified:
– Yotam Haim, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7.
– Samer Talalka, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Am by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7.
– Alon Shamriz, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7.
