Israeli officials have acknowledged that three hostages were mistakenly killed by soldiers in Gaza on Friday. The hostages, Yotam Haim, 28, Samer Talalka, 22, and Alon Shamriz, 26, who were being held by Hamas, had used leftover food to write signs pleading for help. The soldiers breached "rules of engagement" by shooting them, as they were holding a white flag.
