#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
The loss of civilian lives was the biggest in weeks. #Hamas said the incident could jeopardize talks in #Qatar aimed at securing a #ceasefire and the release of #IsraeliHostages it is holding. When asked if he thought it would complicate the talks, US President #JoeBiden said: “I know it will.” #Israel
"Far from an aberration, the hostages’ deaths are the result of Israel giving its soldiers license to kill innocent Palestinians without repercussions."
When you fatally fire on three shirtless men waving white flags of surrender, that’s no accident. It’s intentional. The only “mistake” was the IDF’s assumption that the men were Palestinians.
The IDF’s rage is so blinding that it isn’t the fog of war that’s making monsters of them; it’s their decision to lay waste to any, and every, Palestinian who can’t get out of the way — yes, even if they’re defenseless civilians. #Israel#IDF#IsraeliHostages#Hamas#WarCrimes
