Palestinian Resistance treats IOF officer; 'Israel' kills him later
Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades has announced that Israeli warplanes deliberately targeted an Israeli officer, resulting in his death.
Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine, announced, on Friday, that an Israeli strike killed Ohad Yahalomi, an Israeli officer taken captive on October 7.
In a statement, al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades detailed that Israeli officer Ohad Yahalomi taken captive was targeted by the Israeli army along with the group responsible for him, resulting in his moderate injury, which was treated.

However, Israeli warplanes deliberately targeted Yahalomi again a few days ago with the intention of killing him, and despite their efforts to save his life, he was killed, the Resistance group's statement added.
Accusations leveled against Israeli forces killing their own troops are not new.
Yesterday, the Israeli military revealed that the cause of death of two Israeli occupation forces could not be determined, following a visit to the soldiers' families.
The bodies of Sergeant Ron Sherman and Corporal Nick Beiser were retrieved from Gaza on December 14, 2023. The IOF soldiers were held captive by the Palestinian Resistance and remained in Gaza after the occupation refused to negotiate a prisoner release deal.
Allegedly, the bodies were retrieved from Jabalia, close to a location bombarded by the IOF, which resulted in the martyrdom of Ahmad al-Ghandour, the commander of al-Qassam's northern brigade.
Amid obscurity, Sherman's mother, Maya, accused the IOF of killing her son.
“The results of the investigation: Ron was indeed murdered. Not by Hamas. Think more in the direction of Auschwitz and the showers but without Nazis and without Hamas as the cause. No accidental shooting, no report, premeditated murder, bombings with poisonous gases,” she wrote on social media.

The IOF were accused of gassing a tunnel in which Sherman was located, causing suffocation and poisoning, and ultimately his death.
"They found that he also had several crushed fingers, apparently due to his desperate attempts to get out of the poison grave that the IDF buried in him when he tried to breathe air, but he only breathed IDF poison," she went on saying.
Maya continued to blame the occupation for her son's abduction in the first place, calling out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials who have perpetrated vicious violence in Gaza, killing their own forces.
Not an isolated incident
In December, the Israeli occupation military stated that its troops shot and killed three captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza during battles in al-Shujaiya after "mistakenly" identifying them as "a threat".
The three Israeli captives killed "mistakenly" in Gaza by the IOF were holding up a white flag.
"They're all without shirts and they have a stick with a white cloth on it. The soldier feels threatened and opens fire. He declares that they're terrorists, they (forces) open fire, two are killed immediately," the official said, adding that the third captive was wounded and went back into a nearby building to call for help in Hebrew.
"Immediately the battalion commander issues a ceasefire order, but again there's another burst of fire towards the third figure and he also dies," the official noted, claiming that "this was against our rules of engagement."
The occupation military identified the captives as settlers 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".
