According to a high-ranking IDF official,\u2063 these hostages were waving a \u2063white flag, a\u200b symbol of surrender and peace.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF is currently engaged in a sweeping counteroffensive against the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza. This operation aims to rescue over 100 hostages, including \u200dIsraelis,\u200b foreign nationals, and \u2064American\u2063 citizens, who have been \u200bconfined by Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Regrettably, the\u200b shootings carried out by two IDF soldiers violated the military&#8217;s rules\u200b of engagement, as confirmed\u2062 by the\u200c official.

Shockingly, \u200danother soldier disregarded the third hostage&#8217;s\u2064 pleas in Hebrew\u2062 and\u200b an order \u200bfrom a commander to stop shooting, \u200cresulting \u200din his tragic death.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF has initiated\u200c an immediate\u2064 review of the\u2064 incident to prevent such occurrences in the future. They \u200bemphasize that this is\u2063 an active \u2064combat zone, where ongoing fighting has taken \u2062place in recent \u2062days.
