The Israeli army admitted on Sunday that it had killed three hostages in Gaza during a previous attack on the Strip that took place about 10 months ago, after previously denying responsibility for their deaths.
Channel 12 Israel said that “the families of soldiers Ron Sherman and Nick Beser and civilian Elia Toledano were officially informed for the first time that their sons were killed as a result of a byproduct of an Israeli army raid on the Gaza Strip” in November, and their bodies were recovered in December.
She continued: “The army did this, and did not know that they were with the commander of the northern division of Hamas, Ahmed al-Ghandour, who was killed in the attack.”
The Israeli army had retrieved the bodies of the hostages from a Hamas tunnel in Jabalia on December 14.
Near the location of the bodies, the Israeli army had attacked a tunnel in which Al-Ghandour was killed.
