The Israeli military has concluded that three Israeli hostages were likely killed in an Israeli air strike in November. The investigation, conducted by the IDF, suggests that the hostages, including Corporal Nik Beizer, Sergeant Ron Sherman, and Elia Toledano, died as a result of the strike.

    1. The findings of the investigation suggest a high probability that the three were killed as a result of a byproduct of an [Israeli army] air strike, during the elimination of the Hamas Northern Brigade commander, Ahmed Ghandour, on November 10th, 2023.
    2. The I.D.F. shares in the grief of the families over the devastating loss.
    3. This is an estimate with a high probability in view of all the data, but it is not possible to determine with certainty the circumstances of their death.
    4. At the time of the strike, the [army] did not have information about the presence of hostages in the targeted compound.
    5. Furthermore, there was information suggesting that they were located elsewhere, and thus the area was not designated as one with suspected presence of hostages.
    1. It is certainly an embarrassment on all scales, not just politically but security-wise as well, that the army made this admission so many months later.
