Israel acknowledges that a prisoner was killed by fire from one of its helicopters. The Israeli army said that a female prisoner held by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on October 7 was likely killed by Israeli helicopter gunfire.
A previous investigation by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed that the army was aware of the presence of Israeli detainees in a house that it targeted with two tank shells. The Commission confirmed that Hamas fighters did not fire on the detainees, but rather it was Israeli forces’ fire that killed them, along with 40 Hamas militants.
