This incident only came to light because three Israeli hostages were killed, but the question that will inevitably be asked is how many incidents of the killing of unarmed civilians go unreported.
Details are beginning to emerge about the circumstances that led to the targeting and killing of three Israeli hostages by IDF soldiers.
It is not clear if the hostages had escaped from their Hamas captors or if they had been abandoned, but they appeared to be unarmed, in civilian clothes, and reports now suggest that at least one was waving a white flag.
So how were they targeted, when the hostages did not appear to pose any threat to the IDF soldiers?
First, although some cowboy movies seem to suggest that a single gunshot will kill a target, in reality a study of over 11,000 gunshot wounds showed that less than 15% of those wounded died from their wounds. from a shot.
Therefore, for all three Israeli hostages to die suggests that they were victims of heavy gunfire.
Second, urban warfare is incredibly difficult, dangerous, and terrifying. Professional soldiers are trained to distinguish between threats and civilian personnel.
However, Israel has mobilized over 300,000 personnel to serve in the Gaza war, and many of them will have had limited training or experience before being thrown into the heat of battle.
This incident only came to light because three Israeli hostages were killed, but the question that will inevitably be asked is how many incidents of the killing of unarmed civilians go unreported.
This may go some way to explaining why the Palestinian casualty figures are rising so alarmingly.
This avoidable loss of life will inevitably increase the pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu to refocus his efforts on securing the release of the hostages.
It is no coincidence that a senior Mossad representative has since been sent to Qatar to resume hostage negotiations, although it is not yet clear whether Hamas is also prepared to re-engage in that process./ SkyNews
