Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas, published a video clip of the three detainees who were mistakenly killed by the Israeli occupation army.

Al-Qassam broadcast a video clip on its Telegram channel on Thursday evening, showing scenes of the three detainees during their detention, before the occupation forces killed them with gunfire.

The Al-Qassam Brigades commented on the video: “Despite our keenness to preserve their lives, Netanyahu still insists on killing them..

A preliminary investigation by the Israeli occupation army, after announcing the killing of 3 "Israeli" detainees by the occupation army, revealed that the three detainees raised a white flag in front of the occupation soldiers and were shot out of revenge against the Palestinians, according to Hebrew media.

The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said that the body of a blonde detainee was what raised the soldiers' suspicions that they were among the detainees.

The occupation army conducted a preliminary investigation into the incident that occurred in Shuja'iya, in which it said that the soldiers who opened fire on the detainees acted in violation of open-fire instructions.

An officer in the occupation army said: "We were not prepared for a scenario in which the kidnapped people roamed freely in the streets of Gaza."

A senior official in the Southern Command explained, according to the Hebrew newspaper, that the Israeli occupation army forces were stationed in a multi-storey building in Shujaiya, in an area where there were no longer any civilians, and a soldier who was in the force recognized three people who came out of a nearby building. They were shirtless, and had a stick with a white cloth on it. The soldier shouted, “Terrorists,” and contrary to Al-Fateh’s instructions, they were shot and two were wounded. The third detainee returned unharmed to the building from which he came.”

According to Hebrew media, the forces asked the third detainee to leave the building, and heard him shouting “Save me” in Hebrew. When he left the building, the battalion commander asked the soldiers to stop shooting, but a soldier from a nearby building opened fire on him and wounded him.

Israeli occupation government Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the killing of the three detainees is an unbearable tragedy, and that all of Tel Aviv is in mourning this evening.

Netanyahu added in statements in which he commented on the incident, saying: “I commend the hands of our soldiers who are committed to recovering the detainees, even if it means risking their lives.”

Netanyahu claimed that his army will learn lessons and will continue to make a great effort to return all detainees to their homes safely.

The Al-Qassam Brigades had announced the killing of 3 detained settlers, as a result of an earlier occupation bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam's statement added that the settlers who were killed were: Sherry Silverman Bibas, Kfir Bibas, and Ariel Bibas.
