Israeli Troops Kill Three Israeli Hostages as They Attempted To Escape Hamas

Israeli troops killed three of their own hostages on Dec. 15 as they were escaping from their Hamas captives. Israel claims it had mistook them for fighters, or whatever they claim is a legitimate target in Hamas, and fired upon them. Shortly thereafter, when the news became known, hundreds of Israelis gathered to protest in front of the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv.
