War cabinet minister Benny Gantz writes on X that he is “heartbroken” over the news that three hostages were mistakenly killed by the IDF during fighting in northern Gaza earlier today.
“My heart goes out to all of the families of the hostages and also the soldiers who are in the depths of [Gaza] carrying out a complex and important mission, the likes of which we’ve never seen since the establishment of the state,” he writes.
“Our responsibility is to win this war, and part of that victory will be bringing the hostages home. We’ll do everything we can to bring them back alive. Everything,” Gantz vows.
