Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the military, said the three Zionists held by Hamas since early October were “mistakenly” killed by friendly fire in the Gaza neighborhood of Shujaiya.
“During searches and checks in the area in which the incident occurred, a suspicion arose over the identities of the deceased,” he said. Their bodies were transferred…for examination, after which it was confirmed that they were three Zionist prisoners, he added.
As news of the incident spread, hundreds of people gathered in Tel Aviv to call on the Israeli regime to secure the release of 129 prisoners still being held in Gaza.
Hamas said at the weekend that it would never give in to the pressure of incessant Israeli attacks on Gaza to release the rest of the Israeli prisoners until the invasion stopped.
The Zionist regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 18,787 Palestinians and injured 50,900 others.
Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under the rubble in Gaza, which is under “complete siege” by the Zionist regime.
