The slaying of three hostages in Gaza by Israeli troops unleashes a torrent of criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.
Multiple critics note that Netanyahu did not announce the tragedy in person, as then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin did in 1994 following the attempted rescue operation of Nachshon Wachsman, which ended with the death of that abducted soldier and one of the commandos trying to save him.
Einav Schiff, a journalist for Yedioth Ahronoth, writes on Ynet: “The IDF spokesperson was abandoned last night. He was not the one who was supposed to look the public in the eye and inform them about the tragedy, but the prime minister or at least the defense minister and chief-of-staff. It’s not surprising but disappointing.”

Human rights violations should always be investigated and condemned once confirmed regardless of the race, religion, or creed of the accused.

The hostages should be set free and Hamas needs to back down.

The killing of the hostages was incredibly sad but the IDF clearly didn't do it on purpose and Hamas is using it for propaganda.

I support Israel but I mostly want peace

The IDF has gone into this event with a bit too much a thirst for blood. They of course have the right to self-defense, but they have caused more damage and killed more in this short amount of time than either Russia in Ukraine or the US in Iraq over a similar time period. If it's gotten to the point where soldiers cannot identify who they are even helping anymore it is far beyond time to take a step back
Absolutely horrific situation with very few historical parallels that don't fall apart. Israel is in an impossible situation with zero good options and I feel for them. I hope whatever happens short term, a brighter future might be possible.
