Killing of Alon Shamriz, Yotam Haim, and Samer Talalka
2023 killings of hostages by the Israeli military / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 15 December 2023, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers operating in Shuja'iyya, Gaza as part of the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip shot dead three Israeli hostages taken during the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. The hostages, who were trying to be rescued, were visibly unarmed and shirtless and waving a makeshift white flag when they were killed.[1] The incident provoked criticism of the IDF and of the government's attempts to resolve the hostage crisis with military action within Israel[2] and condemnation of Israeli military action in Gaza from abroad.[3][4]
