After denials for months, the Israeli military says there is a “high probability” its air strike was responsible for the deaths of three Israeli captives in Gaza in November.The military on Sunday said it was unaware the captives were present in a tunnel in the Palestinian territory when they launched the attack on November 10, 2023.The bodies of the three captives – Corporal Nik Beizer, Sergeant Ron Sherman and French-Israeli national Elia Toledano – were recovered on December 14. But the cause of death was not determined.“The findings of the investigation suggest a high probability that the three were killed as a result of a byproduct of an [Israeli army] air strike, during the elimination of the Hamas Northern Brigade commander, Ahmed Ghandour, on November 10th, 2023,” the military said in a statement.The military said its investigation revealed that the three captives had been held in a tunnel complex from which Ghandour operated.“At the time of the strike, the [army] did not have information about the presence of hostages in the targeted compound,” the military statement said.

The US and France will propose a three-week cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of a bid to clear the way for negotiations and avert all-out war in the Middle East.France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said details of the proposal would be announced soon and he planned to travel to Beirut by the end of the week. He announced the plan at a United Nations Security Council meeting where diplomats gathered to discuss the conflict.“We are counting on both parties to accept it without delay in order to protect civilian populations and allow for diplomatic negotiations to begin,” said Barrot, whose country maintains open lines of communication with Hezbollah.People familiar with the matter said earlier that the Biden administration and its allies were working with Israeli officials with the intention of forging a political settlement between Israel and the Iran-backed group.The effort’s goal is to prevent a major war from breaking out, create the conditions for tens of thousands of displaced Israelis to return to their country’s north and help revive efforts for a cease-fire and hostage deal in Gaza, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.
