Israel has the right to defend itself… from itself?

They thought they were Palestine kids.

This is surely antisemitic.

Hamas was using those soldiers as human shields, right?

This proves that Israel is firing without first approving targets.

They'll blame it on Hamas or say Hamas was in the tank.

Israeli tanks have a right to defend themselves.

When stupidity has weapons , you get stupid results .

Ooh no, they thought their troops were Palestinian Children!

Israeli Hasbara 101: 1. We haven't heard reports of deaths, will check into it. 2. Palestinians were killed, but by a faulty Hamas rocket. 3. Okay, we killed them, but they were terrorists. 4. Okay, they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields. 5. Okay, there were no fighters in the area, it was our mistake, but we don’t target civilians, like Hamas. 6. Okay, we've killed far more civilians than Hamas, but look at how terrible other countries are! 7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-semite?

The tank was hamas

They thought they were Palestinians I mean Hamas

Antisemitic American Tanks

Now they figured out in the end who is the real enemy.

Hamas was using those soldiers as human shields.

if they can mistake their own troops with full radio contact then I dont even want to know what they are treating civilians without any way to contact the headquarters.

If they can't distinguish between their solders and hamas, how then can they differenciate between Hamas and civilians 🤦🏻‍♂️💔

What a shit show

Foolish IDF 😮

tthe tank is antisemetic

Do you condemn….Israeli tanks?

They must have been dressed as kids.

The tank was antisemitic.

I thought Israel had the most advanced, organized & badass military in the world... What happened?

Man, the IDF really is afraid of the rumours surrounding morale problems, aren't they

But no investigation of friendly fire accusations on Oct.7

Worse army in the world

Every accusation is a confession

Stop this nonsense! …Or send Benjamim Netanyahu for the front line.

You face the consequences.

They can't eliminate Hamas...n now fighting among themselves.

IDF has no real enemy

Have u guys forgotten, isreal official says that hamas is using human shield.... i think hamas is using these 5 sodiers as human shield......🤣🤣🤣

This is antisemitic

They'll blame it on Khamas 🤣😂

The stress is getting to them. War should stop. So much innocent people have died unnecessarily.

Israeli Hannibal Directive????

They going to blame the tank as Hamas

As the Israeli hasbara always say “this is the reality of war”.

- 450 Palestinian villages were destroyed by the Colonialist Zio’nists to setup Isriael, 70 years ago. - For last 70 years the criminal settlers kept pushing Palestinian people out till half of them left and the remaining half were pushed into congested areas like Gaza. - Hundreds of civilians killed by Isriael every year. - 30 children killed by Isriael in 2022. - 200 civilians killed by Isriael in 2023, before the current conflict. Why should Israel not be called as a mad colonialist occupier?

There is a troubling reality that often goes unspoken: Palestinians find themselves in a position where their suffering can be overlooked or quickly forgotten. A significant aspect of this is rooted in cultural practices; the majority of Palestinians are Muslims who traditionally bury their dead within 24 hours. This rapid burial can inadvertently minimize the visibility of casualties in the eyes of the international community, potentially benefiting the IDF. OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND. It's crucial to acknowledge and address how these dynamics contribute to a cycle where the gravity of loss might not be fully recognized or remembered. 🇵🇸🕊️

Why aren't these tanks and IDF soldiers on the same side ?

Stop war please 🙏

This appears to be common in the IDF. Always mistaking their own for their enemies.

A free Palestine with a rule of law!!

For the most caring, focused, military in the world, apparently, where they know they are killing terrorists only and saving civilians, this "friendly fire" incident is a bit awkward!

Years ago we were seeing pictures of satellite guided weapons precisely targetting buildings in Iraq. Now modern warfare is apparently bombing civilian areas indiscriminately and killing their own hostages and soldiers. This is not the progress I had expected.

Israel people have to take that man out of power and judge him, this was taken too far.

Why can't we just love thy neighbor.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Typical of IOF cowards.

I’m sure it’s just the latest of many blue-on-blue incidents from the IDF that we normally don’t hear about. Trigger-happiness and lack of operational awareness is always a recipe for disaster.

Do you condemn the tank BBC?

They were probably behaving like children and were mistaken.

IDF has the right to defend itself from IDF

War, war never changes. It happens alot in every battle situation.

Sorry to hear that…

The tank is KHAMAS

It because of too much fear of hamas.

This is insanity

They saw something moving.. so they attacked

- Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened. - Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order? - Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order? - Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?

Play stupid games, get stupid results

Even their tanks are against them😂

I'm concerned abt the safety of that tank 😢

Mistaken identity.

Quick clear concise response from Isreal regarding this, still waiting for updates and information regarding certain things the IDF have done and settler violence with no arrests or punishment, months ago, seems like we have no balance😮

Chissano's pioneering work has left an indelible mark on society.

the BBC let the comment on.... and these comments make me believe in humanity again

Big W Tank you TANK

The suffering of Palestinians are so heartbreaking. They need ceasefire and Israeli occupation needs to end. Palestinians deserve dignity, humanity and freedom.

Israel has the right to defend its self from its self 😅

😢

Israeli solders, hamas fighters.what difference fighter and solder.

Merkava tanks have a right to defend themselves!

How sad… so what’s everyone having for lunch today

Do you condemn Tankmas?

It's Just Awful

“Everyone knows today that Israel is a terrorist entity.” - Manu Pineda (European Parliamentarian) on 2024-02-01, during farmers protest.

Strategy? Genocide isa a strategy? 5 IDF soldiers is unfortunate for the young men and their families. 10 thousand innocent children killed is a vicious crime.

Israel has the right to defend itself from its own soldier's

Unfortunately, soldiers are often wounded or killed by friendly fire in wartime. During WWII, my father, an American Army soldier, took a scout patrol to a deserted French village to search for German soldiers & possible booby traps. Another American force on a hill overlooking the village spotted my father's men slinking around the village, & began to shell it, mistaking the American soldiers for Germans. My father said he & his men had to duck, cover, & worm their way out of the village, barely escaping with their skins intact. This is the risk combatants take during "the fog of war".

All these people in the comments have no clue how difficult and tense Urban Warfare is! Clearly they have never been in any military capacity.. if anything this just goes to show how unintentional casualties do occur

What ridiculous journalism! You dont even know what actually happened.

Were they moving?

The Israelis have enough to deal with, when they figure out how to govern Israel :The knife fight, over which, led to the security vacuum of Oct 7 . . . The problem of government for the Palestinians of Gaza, is a problem for the Palestinians of Gaza ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They can't tell the difference between terrorists and themselves because they are the same.

These things have always happened in war sometimes the battlefield is very confusing.

I recall that, months ago, there was talk of possible local government structures. This is not the vacuum of ideas suggested by this BBC report. The issue will be how to decide which of the potentially viable alternatives will be most practical, which depends a lot of what is most acceptable to Palestinians once Hamas control is broken. I can understand why it might be best to keep options open and do some consultation later, though it would be nice to have more detail now on possible arrangements, building on what was already floated some time ago.

they must have been holding white flags

The most moral army cannot even shoot fish in a barrel

They are able mistakes happen get on with restoring everything

And still the Palestinians are trying to find the enemy under the rubble , even tho they are getting bombarded by them , this is humility and shows the heart of the Muslim community dispite what the world will tell you about Islam

What happend? Thy killed there own soldiers with a tank round ?

Shame on the BBC for not broadcasting live coverage from The Hague today.

3:05 "Once the military operation is over" BBC condemns Russia when using that word.

Under trained

One of the best intelligence agencies just happened to not know that Hamas was going to attack on October 7th.Israel could have defended themselves.

This just shows how war works. The landscape is quite complicated. They did not mean to kill their soldiers but yet the soldiers were killed. That was even easier to avoid than fighting with Hamas who wears civilian clothing and hides in hospitals, schools, mosques and neighbourhoods. So you can't blame them for the civilian deaths which they try their best to avoid.

😮
