On 15 December 2023, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers operating in Shuja'iyya, Gaza as part of the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip killed three Israeli hostages taken during the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. The hostages, who were trying to be rescued, were visibly unarmed and shirtless and waving a makeshift white flag when they were killed.[1] The incident provoked criticism of the IDF and of the government's attempts to resolve the hostage crisis with military action within Israel[2] and condemnation of Israeli military action in Gaza from abroad.[3][4]
