An investigation into the August incident found that the victims were murdered just before troops reached them.
The main conceptual idea is that Israel's military operations in Rafah, Gaza, likely influenced Hamas' decision to kill six hostages.
While Israel maintains its troops did not directly kill the hostages, the investigation concluded that their presence and actions in the area caused Hamas to murder the hostages before Israeli forces reached them. This finding highlights the complex and tragic dynamics of the conflict and the difficult ethical considerations surrounding military operations in populated areas.
