  1. No apologies and none should come from Israel. This is 100 percent the fault of Hamas. The IDF is fighting a difficult urban war and friendly fire will occur (just like in any war)

  2. WHAAAAAT?

    They are on the streets screaming for CEASEFIRE and trying to stop Warlord Netanyahu!

  3. @“6”&”66”$!!youwill Need some grace to forgive these people.

  4. For every 1 innocent person in Gaza, at least 10 people reach the true Islam by reading the Quran and become Muslims. And they continue to be Muslims..! Allah is the best of those who set a trap…!

  5. 8000 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN MURDERED BY ISRAELI ARMY

  6. Are you serious? The IOF thought they were Palestinian civilians. This is what Palestinian civilians lice with every hour. But 3 Israelis it becomes a tragedy? Seriously?

  7. They didn't know what their own hostages look like, so US and UK politicians were duped into believing the IDF's mission was saving hostages and not genocide? And now a traditional piece of fabric is equated with terrorism – How long does the world have to continue watching this circus?

  8. "3 less hostages to worry about", if I can read his mind.

  9. This is what happens when Israel decides to enter into a ground war

  10. The fact that Israeli PM is upset by the 3 hostages killed, but not even a single tear for the thousands that have been killed. Women and children, babies. Like these are not humans at all. SMH.

  11. SHAME ON YOU BENJAMIN NETANYAHU!!!

  12. how about the hundreds of youngs in music festival the 7 oct there is much evidences that is an idf attack watch the attack of idf on the palestinian convoy the 17 october from israel and forbes tv, the ground and cars are calcined and destructed the same way….. le tsahal qui tue tous veut que le monde dit que c'est une armee tres dure, sans pitie meme avec ses citoyens…

  13. The IDF probably confused them for human shields. They were simply exercising Israel’s right to defend itself when they shot.

  14. Well I'm glad they weren't Palestinians…

  15. They do this to Palestinians all the time.

  16. Maybe The IDF soldiers thought they were Palestinian civilians that’s why they killed them.

  17. Netanyahu has the right to lie to his own people.

  18. Netanyahu is capable of killing everyone, including his own soldiers. He just wants to escape prison.

  19. So much anger over three Isrealis, it's heartbreaking 💔 yet absolutely nothing comes out Telavi over the daily horrendous murder & contempt for Palestinian men ,women & children its actually mind bogling how these people think 🤔 😢

  20. DO U CONDEMN NETANYAHU!!!!!! FOR KILLING THOSE HOSTAGES THAT HE KILLED 50,000 PEOPLE FOR AND DISPLACED 2 MILLION PALESTINIANS.

  21. Imagine that how they treat Palestinians, they give them no chance even waving a white flag

  22. Defence minister Gallant is a disgrace to jis office n yhe cabinet, a defenceless person when it comes to the country he keeps defending himself much than the country doesnt seem to be a sincere person for the post better to be ousted and IDF chief of staff – the same very incompetent and shd be replaced immediately for the safety of Israeli army n Israel.

  23. IDF don't do mistakes when it comes to killing

  24. I usually don't feel bad for Isreal but i do feel sad. For these people who fled n probably taught they were saved only to be killed

  25. Ohh now this is sad but killing women and babies in Gaza for years in not chicken coming home to roost

  26. The terrorists' manipulation, which included repeated cries of 'help', caused confusion among the IDF soldiers, ultimately leading to the accidental shooting.

  27. This is what happens when you always
    ie. You think others are not telling the
    truth, too. So the zionist shoot their own
    thinking they are liars too!
    You left your captors alive, dead at the
    hands of your psychopatic regime.

  28. Actully Isrial is terriest state since 1948

  29. How sad Israel murdered 3 hostages. The world said have a cease fire. Now they are going home in a body bag

  30. Netanyahu take caution; 'Pride goes before fall'.

  31. BREAKING: the three hostages did not have a shirts on were waving a white flag while screaming in hebrew 'rescue me' before they were shot, 2 were shot first and one ran of into a building where he was also shot, these are the levels of indiscriminate and incompetence by the IDF that can only be described as comical

  32. IDF = INDICRIMINATE DEATH FORCE. Israel has lost it's moral compass and is totally out of control. STOP GENOCIDE.

  33. They exposed their self very well

  34. The question is are the hostages holding a gun or something,this proves that they shot at anything that move. I am surprise they didn't blame hamus.

  35. NETANYAHU KILLED 8000 OVER CHILDREN

  36. The death of nearly 8,000 palestinians kids are not tragic or horrific though

  37. Don't ask me anymore about the free world, humanitarian law, children's rights, or women's protection. these slogans died in Gaza. the west double standards have turned North Korea into a paradise of justice compere to so called free world,

    strangely. & how dare British media owned by (🔯Murdoch💰) who operate based on their colonization dirty history who created this Catastrophe in Palestine, talking about
