during it's offensive in northern gather the men reportedly emerged shirtless from a building, waving a white cloth on a stick. soldiers. ms took them for militants and fired according to a military pro. but one of the men also cried out to the soldiers in hebrew, israel's military has called it a tragic accident. we said this is against our rules of engagement. again, i will say that again, it's against our rules of engagement letter license. i will keep fighting, come us. it's a very, very complex battle space. and the idea of is doing everything we can. uh, there's been multiple successes and they're also being mistakes. their depths have amplified the fear, felt by those with loved ones, still being held in gazda in tel aviv o'clock tracks the number of days since the hostages were abducted by

a mass militants in the october 7th terror attack on these real families gathered demanding the government do more to secure their release is the only government needs to be active. they need to put an offer on the table, including prisoners with blood on their hands. and put the best off on the table to get the hostages back. i'll live. i'll live. we don't want them back in bags, not like wires to act. now, a woman recently freed after being held captive by her mosque pleads for the safe return of her husband a lot. so they divide military action on its own will not save the hostages live swapping the hostages for prisoners is urgent and critical. the work cabinet alone will not bring about the release of the hostages alive. despite the growing course

of calls, these really government insists the best way to ensure their return is to keep up its military pressure on home us. lieutenant colonel, jonathan con. regus is a spokesman for these really military. i asked him to explain how the killings could have happened when the hostages were shirtless and carrying a white flag. yes. hello, good night. thank you for having me on your show. and it was what we understand from the preliminary investigation that was the over saw overseeing the by very senior officers in the idea is that the firing and by the idea of soldier towards the is ready for where is randy hostages, as they were approaching was a complete, incomplete air, violation of the rules of engagement. it was contrary to the rules of engagement

and it shouldn't have happened. and what we are investigating is why, what were the factors that led to that decision being made? and that of course, extremely important for the future and to give guidelines to our troops in gauze out how to prevent that from happening in the future in goes up because we may find ourselves in a similar or another type of the situation like this in the future, so you mention that this incident was outside the idea of the rules of engagement. but can you perhaps explain what this means in more detail? yeah, it was, it was contrary to the rules of engagement. it shouldn't have happened and that the wasn't mistaken by the surgical fire. and, but it's very important to understand that the environments where our soldiers are operating is a very dynamic and chaotic environment. where our enemy from us constantly uses

severely and clothing and civilian facilities in order to fight. and we have encountered countless thomas combatants dressed in civilian clothing. so therefore our troops are constantly ready and proceed almost everything as a threat. and as such, that was probably something that led to the misunderstanding here in this mistake. and we have seen attempts by, from us to use voice recordings of hebrew, hebrew speaking people, including children in order to tripped the idea into going into buildings and alleyways in order to be attacked by i d's. so of course, it's a very if it's a mistake, what the soldier did, what the soldiers did on the ground. but once you understand what environment are, so just are and operating in, then you can start understanding why it's happened. and, but most importantly for us is to make sure that we learn lessons quickly and that

we disseminate those new guidelines for the troops. and so that we can prevent this . and i can assure you that there is nothing that i saw just once more then to return on hostages phone. and now what kind of consequences, if any, could the soldiers who shot those hostages then face? yeah, since it's under investigation, i cannot going to any details what will happen. i can only say that because the commanders in the idea of understand that this, this wasn't something that was done with the any and hostile intent that this was a mistake. and it's going to be addressed as such. and beyond that, i can't, you know, discuss something that is part of an open investigation or in review. our focus is to continue fighting to defeat from us and to return our hostages home alive. and

to end the war as quickly as possible. but we have to, we have to acknowledge that even after all of these weeks of the idea of fighting in gaza, more than a 100 hostages are still being held by militants in the territory. and as you know, there is growing criticism on among these really public may have many people say that fighting is not going to get the hostages back in that. what's needed are negotiations once again we've come us. so does the idea perhaps need to change a strategy? i actually don't think that that is contradicting. i think that the negotiations can continue while there is fighting. and the, we in the idea of believe that the fighting on the ground and the continued pressure on how most leadership and the fact that they all threatened and that we are taking out commanders, minute tons, infrastructure and that we are slowly but steadily dismantling their infrastructure

is contributing to the willingness of, from us to give up the hostages hosted this that they have been holding onto for more than 70 days, including 17 women and children. $132.00 hostages are still in from us captive the date and the we believe that it is what is needed is continued pressure on from us in order to get them to understand that there will not be a way out for them. and that they need to give up the hostages. having said that, of course, the adf will comes and that is done by the, and by other organizations and as well, and by the prime minister's office. the idea is that well, comes any negotiations back and bring back additional hostages, and we have said very clearly that we are full that as well. lieutenant colonel jonathan creek is from the israel defense forces. many thanks indeed for taking the

time to speak to us on dw, thank you for having me. well, meanwhile, gaza has been plunged into a near communications blackout, leaving more than 2000000 palestinians virtually cut off from the outside world. internet and telephone lines went down thursday and remain and accessible. that's according to cause and authorities and communications companies. the outage is hampering a deliveries in the territory. israel recently reopened it's cam shalom crossing, allowing it to maintain its commitment of allowing $200.00 a trucks entry for per day or for more on the humanitarian situation in gaza. we spoke earlier with tess ingram of eunice. this slow down the line and diarrhea is an absolute matter of life and death to the children of gaza. we've been talking for weeks now about trumps crossing through the motor. but i think, you know, the best way to these discussions is how essential the aid inside those traps

really is there, you know, such as the delivery simple things like photos and stuff. but it's also important construction materials and generate is to help rebuild the deepest structure that's been damaged. so these trumps are incredibly important to the survival of the children and gaza. we've been only been getting a travel travel across the board. i say it's really not the, i think a lot of crossing is going so hopefully a great deal because it will add another screening point to allow more trusting. so we're really going to have a good feel for what a difference is making. until we say it'd action, it's becoming increasingly difficult once we are across the board to, to distribute the, because of these ongoing communications blackouts and the intense crowd spaces towards the south of the gov. the street is where, you know, always the 1000000 people now have be pushed out even around rough. uh, and that's

a city that really is island kind of set up an infrastructure to accommodate 252300000. so places that used to be the schools and community areas and now rubble is it makes it very difficult for us to do our job with the blackouts as well. and you can think about us coming in with these trucks of medical supplies and trying to communicate with the hospitals to make the deliveries it's. it's becoming very difficult of the 21 to speak of soccer now. and of course, endorsement has lost more ground in the title raise. they came into the match 11 points off the top of the table and we're hoping to get back to winning ways back or how to a one all draw by oxford and have now only 11 of their last 7 gains. how it didn't test each most wishes. don't mind side performed as well. independent leaguers they do in europe. when is it that champions league repub desk that

without a leak weighing in december hands true to form, they go to off to a bad stats and outs. pat image in denver of age took advantage of some lightweight, defending to put the hosts in front, midway through the 1st top. the steam to be nothing more than a base of rough and tumble. and the goal was allowed to stand and have no shortage of quality in their score. and they never would leave for more than 10 minutes late. so don't you amount in pain. seeing a pretty picture following a neat one to with nicholas food truck. marvin's fisco or the season ok specs for the teats mr. tree of chances at the status of the 2nd half, that one was the best of the 3. before don't moons came close themselves and the closing stages aspect spin dom and c poppy to 9 full crooked with 2 minutes to go
