Geez. Terrible news. IDF accidently killed 3 hostages

 

During combat in Shejaiya, the IDF mistakenly identified 3 Israeli hostages as a threat and as a result, fired toward them and the hostages were killed. 1/1

This is indeed terrible news. I thought they were all dead. To think that they could have actually rescued 3 of them but instead accidently killed them is a serious kick in the pants. It brings up another point. I thought Israeli intel agencies were top notch. Either they have a communication issue with units conducting this assault or despite them gleaming more and more info they're still blind to what's going on inside the Hamas terrorist organization. I wonder though. They killed comms for Hamas so they can't even do signal interception to get a view of what they're doing, how they're doing it and what they plan on doing next. Should they have left it on? Hamas would be better organized but if they thought that they could rescue hostages it would have given them better visibility. At the end of the day I just don't know. This is so far outside my lane that I'll just have to sit back and watch the experts do what they do.
