It has been revealed that the Israeli military accidentally shot and killed three Israeli hostages in the northern Gaza Strip in Palestine, and that one of the hostages was holding a white flag at the time.

On the 16th, a funeral was held for one of the hostages who was accidentally shot dead in Fura, southern Israel.

Approximately 300 people attended the funeral.

It has also become clear what happened when the hostage was shot dead.

Reuters reported on the 16th that the three hostages who were killed were shirtless at the time, and one of them was holding what appeared to be a "white flag" with a white cloth attached to a pole, citing an Israeli military official. .

The Israeli military recognized the three people as a "threat" when they came out of a building several dozen meters away, called them "terrorists," and opened fire on them.

Two people died on the spot, but one was injured and fled into a nearby building, shouting "help" in Hebrew, Israel's official language.

The commander heard the screams and ordered him not to fire, but when he went outside the building again, he was shot dead by another soldier.

Following this announcement, calls for the immediate release of the more than 130 remaining hostages are growing in Israel.
