An Israeli helicopter "mistakenly" targeted a building with Israeli troops inside, resulting in the death of one soldier, Israeli media reported.

As per Israeli media reports, Israeli ground forces sought air support following the "identification of a group of Hamas fighters nearby."

However, an Apache combat helicopter, responding to the request, mistakenly targeted the wrong building due to misdirected ground fire by the soldiers.

In the same context, a report published on the Israeli news website Haaretz, on November 21, discussed several incidents of "friendly fire" among Israeli occupation forces that have resulted in casualties during the ongoing ground offensive against the Gaza Strip.

Israeli military forcing hospitals to cover losses: Israeli media

Israeli media reported, on Thursday, that the Israeli military spokesperson has imposed new restrictions related to reporting on casualties in the war, including coercing hospitals against announcing the arrival of wounded or dead personnel unless permitted by the army.

The aim is to control the timing of information release at times convenient for the military, Walla! said in its publication.

Hospital representatives commented, "The military spokesperson [Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari] has taken on the role of national morale delegate, with our primary responsibility being towards those receiving treatment."

Meanwhile, hospital spokespersons are now required to "present the content of their statement to the military spokesperson's representative permanently stationed in the hospital for quick approval before publication."
