Also yesterday, the Israeli occupation military stated that its troops shot and killed three captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, earlier on Friday, during battles in al-Shujaiya after "mistakenly" identifying them as a threat.

"Immediate lessons from the event have been learned," it claimed in a statement.

The occupation military identified the captives as Yotam Haim and Alon Shamriz, both taken from Kibbutz "Kfar Aza" during the Palestinian Resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, in addition to Samer el-Talalqa, who was taken from Kibbutz "Nir Am".

"This is an unbearable tragedy," Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement commenting on his troops' latest flop.

The spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army, Daniel Hagari, said the military "bears responsibility for everything that happened."
