    Three men waiving white flags were shot by the IDF. The men were
    shouting in Hebrewese but the Israeli soldiers thought they were boobie
    traps. A statement by the Israeli army says anybody in the area was (considered) Hamas. One Israeli soldier shot two of the three. The third escaped but another Israeli soldier opened fire and killed him.

    Turns out the three men were Israelis taken hostage by Hamas. They had
    either escaped or had been left behind.

    The Israeli army says the soldiers were acting against instructions.
    What the instructions are, is not said. Put one and one together and the
    best guess as to what the instructions would be is: "burn the ghetto
    down, let nobody out alive, and let's just not talk about this too much,
    OK?"
