The Israeli army said that the incident in which they killed three of their own hostages by mistake because the order to stop shooting was not carried out correctly, was a failure in their mission. As the air strike on a refugee camp that killed more than 80 civilians is revealed to have been a mistake, criticism from the international community is growing.

The Israeli military, which had been investigating the friendly shooting of three hostages, concluded that it was a ‘mission failure’.
The point is that orders were not properly communicated on the battlefield.
When the hostages were waving white flags and asking for help, the commander ordered them to stop shooting, but the soldiers did not hear them because of the sound of the tanks and continued firing.

The air strike on the al-Maghari refugee camp on the 24th, which killed 86 people, was also revealed to be a mistake.
The Israeli army announced immediately after the air strike that they had hit two Hamas buildings.
But after an internal investigation, it was confirmed that he had hit the wrong building.
Israel’s public broadcaster also reported internal evidence that the damage was greater because the Israeli military had chosen inappropriate weapons.
As concerns that the Israeli military’s indiscriminate airstrikes are causing innocent casualties are proven to be true, criticism from the international community is growing stronger.
The United Nations has called on Israel to stop ‘unlawful killings’.
The US will reportedly send Secretary of State Blinken to Israel next week to repeatedly press Israel to switch to low-intensity combat to reduce civilian casualties.
