Relative of Israeli captives confirms ‘3 hostages killed by Israeli fire,’ blasts military - The Grayzone

An Israeli whose family members were held by Palestinian militants tells of friendly fire deaths and complains, “We used to think the IDF knows what it’s doing.” Meanwhile, freed captives detail “horrifying captivity trauma” from Israeli bombings.

A relative of newly-released Israeli captives has publicly accused the Israeli military of killing its own people and says Tel Aviv is blocking the victims’ families from speaking out.

“The whole notion that ‘the IDF knows and protects them’ has dissolved,” Dan explained, adding that she was “surprised” that the Israeli army “allowed us to know so much, because it completely fractured our confidence.”

Anger with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been mounting in Israel since October 7, with a poll taken in early November finding that 76% of Israelis want Netanyahu to resign. Though the military campaign he oversees has managed to kill an estimated 15,899 Palestinians in indiscriminate aerial attacks, Israeli forces’ ruthless tactics have failed to win the release of the 122 civilians they say remain in Gaza.
