I think there’s plenty of blame to spread around. The IDF seems awfully trigger happy, maybe these poor people would still be alive if they had tighter rules of engagement.
It’s true that you do get trigger happy during war, because your own life is in danger. No rule of engagement will change that. Per the reports, they had fire going in and going out so they wouldn’t have the atmosphere that was conducive for holding fire.
The army’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, says Israeli troops found the hostages Friday and erroneously identified them as a threat. He said it was not clear if they had escaped their captors or been abandoned.
They were seen and shot, this was not during active combat or crossfire. They were alone. They were unarmed. They posed no threat to the IDF. And they were targeted and killed because the IDF has no qualms with targeting and killing civilians. They just killed their own civilians this time.
Friendly fire happens in war. Ultimately,it’s Hamas fault there were hostages to begin with.

Yeah, it happens in particular when you carpet bomb the places where hostages are kept. Fucking christ.
They were shot during combat.
Bullshit.
