The Israeli military says that Israeli hostages held in a home that was struck by tank fire were likely killed by Hamas militants, not Israeli shelling.
By Josef Federman, Associated PressA battle-scarred home in Kibbutz Be'eri, an Israeli communal farm on the Gaza border, is seen on Jan. 11, 2024. The Israeli military said Thursday that Israeli hostages held in the home were killed by Hamas militants, not Israeli shelling.
Be’eri, located just several kilometers from the Gaza border, was among the hardest hit communities in the early morning Hamas attack, with over 100 people killed and more than 30 others taken hostage. The Israeli army has come under heavy criticism from Palestinians and human rights groups, who say its investigations rarely result in punishment.
“We see great importance in the army accepting the blame and responsibility for its complete failure to protect us and in asking for forgiveness for abandoning us for many hours during an attack of unmatched evil,” it said.
