According to the Israeli Army’s investigation, six prisoners and six resistance fighters were found dead in the tunnel on August 20. The report claimed that prisoners’ bodies had gunshot wounds, hinting that they were killed by the resistance. The army stated that if they had known prisoners were present, the airstrike would not have been carried out.

Channel 12 highlighted the growing calls from families of prisoners held in Gaza. They emphasized the urgent need to bring back all Israeli prisoners through an exchange agreement. The granddaughter of one of the six prisoners told Yedioth Ahronoth: “This investigation proves the army is responsible for their deaths.” She also revealed that the army apologized to the families for what it described as a “grave mistake.”

The Israeli Army Radio quoted the so-called “Hostages’ Families Forum”, which criticized the military strategy. They argued that the findings show military pressure often leads to the deaths of Israeli prisoners.

The army investigation raised the theory that resistance fighters may have killed the prisoners during the airstrike. However, no conclusive evidence supports this scenario.

This revelation has intensified the debate over the safety of Israeli prisoners in Gaza as Isral continues to savagely attack the strip.

Last month, a Scandal shook the occupation state, when revelations emerged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office orchestrated a covert operation to block the release of Israeli prisoners held in Gaza.

The scandal centers on a team reportedly working from within Netanyahu’s office, accused of disseminating manipulated intelligence and faking documents to undermine prisoner exchange efforts and maintain a hardline stance.
