Israeli Military Mistakenly Kills 3 Hostages in Gaza; U.S. Seeks to Scale Back Gaza War

The Israeli military mistakenly killed three Israeli hostages during its ground operation in the Gaza Strip, expressing "deep sorrow" and launching an investigation. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israel are discussing a timetable for scaling back combat operations against Hamas, with the U.S. offering details on its vision for security arrangements in Gaza, including the potential return of Palestinian security forces. The offensive, triggered by a Hamas attack, has resulted in significant destruction and displacement in Gaza, with over 18,700 Palestinians killed. The conflict continues, with Hamas firing rockets and Israeli airstrikes and tank shelling ongoing.
