This was a tragic incident where Israeli troops mistakenly identified the hostages as a threat. Immediate lessons have been learned and they've been communicated to all other forces. Israel is doing everything it can to get the hostages back.

Establishment-critical narrative

This horrific incident sadly took place because the Israeli government holds the wrong view that it can better retrieve Israeli hostages via military operations.
