It has been a terrible day for Israel, and it is a demonstration not only of the horrors of war but also of the inherent dangers Israel consciously embraces daily.
Three hostages were mistakenly killed in Shejaiya, a hotbed of terrorists and suicide bombers. IDF soldiers went into the battle zone and saw three people running as if they were terrorists and opened fire. The hostages had either escaped as the battle was going on or had been abandoned by Hamas terrorists during the battle. This tragedy falls on the heels of 10 IDF elite forces being ambushed as they were clearing a house yesterday.
Both of these tragic encounters are a reflection of Israel’s commitment to saving every non-Hamas life possible while waging a war against a brutal enemy that demonstrated its evil on October 7 and continues to show its evil in its use of hostages and civilians as human shields.
