Media: On October 7, Israeli soldiers and civilians were killed in "friendly fire".

On October 7, several soldiers and civilians were killed as a result of "friendly fire" in Israel's border areas with the Gaza Strip, reports the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

According to the publication, hundreds of people were killed that day by the Izzad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas , but at the same time , several Israelis died as a result of "friendly fire ".

Haaretz points out that the Israeli army has not launched any investigation into this fact.

"The extraordinary circumstances in which the Israeli armed forces find themselves" caused the hesitancy in the investigation of the events of October 7, according to the publication.

It should be noted that earlier the Israeli army stated that 20 soldiers were killed in "friendly fire" since the beginning of ground attacks in Gaza.

For reference, "friendly fire" (in English - friendly fire) is a military term that refers to the improper firing or attack by a military service member or unit on units of their own troops (forces) or on the troops (forces) of an ally.
