Hamas' popularity has risen dramatically since October 7th. Initially it dropped I believe, but the Israeli siege and displacement of 85% of the population has had the entirely predictable effect.
 
Well of course they meant to, it didn't happen by accident.

Did they know he was a hostage? I think not.
So it would have been OK to kill a wounded Palestinian who was asking for help.
Not to mention his two co-hostages who were killed while holding a white flag, and having written SOS on the wall with leftover food? :rolleyes:

Former UK defence minister Ben Wallace warns in the Daily Telegraph today that Israel's tactics in Gaza will "fuel the conflict for another 50 years" and risk radicalising Muslim youth across the globe.

I think he's slightly understating it.
It's not just Muslim youth who are disaffected with Israel's actions.
 
Although it is worth mentioning here that Israel considers any males between 18-64 years old an enemy combatant if they are killed.
You're being very generous with your age consideration.
With conflict in Gaza entering its third month—and instances of violence spilling over into the West Bank—the harrowing reality of Israel’s systematic detention of Palestinian children has been thrust into the spotlight.
An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in military detention over the past 20 years, with Save the Children noting that they are “the only children in the world who are systematically prosecuted in military courts.” As of Nov. 20, Israeli forces had arrested as many as 880 Palestinian children this year, a practice made possible under Israel’s draconian military laws.
The youngest child who was released by Israeli authorities during the ceasefire was Ahmad Salayme, a 14-year-old boy. Salayme was arrested in May for throwing stones in a Jewish settlement in occupied East Jerusalem. (Settlements are considered illegal under international law.)

Ahmed Salayme was held in detention, without charge, since May, for throwing stones. And he was only released in the very recent release of hostages held by Israel in exchange for hostages held by Hamas.

Since 7th October Israel has arrested 3,000 more Palestinians in the West Bank.
More than 3,000 Palestinians have been arrested in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem since October 7, according to the UN.[21] Those arrested or detained include journalists, politicians and political activists, artists, medics and physicians, temporary workers, and other civilians, including women and children.

They don't arrest nor detain anyone in Gaza. They kill them indiscriminately, and intentionally

The extent of the issue was made clear during the seven-day ceasefire between Nov. 24 to Nov. 30 which saw 105 hostages held by Hamas—both Israelis and foreign nationals—released in exchange for 240 Palestinian women and children. The deal, which was brokered by Qatar and Egypt and took place across six exchanges, raised questions about why so many children were being held in Israeli prisons.
The reality is that the most common charge against children is throwing stones.

Human rights groups have long criticized the workings of Israel’s military law, a legal framework that is selectively applied to Palestinians living in occupied territories, while Israeli settlers hold increased rights under civil law. Save the Children reported that 86 percent of children are beaten in Israeli detention, while 69 percent are strip-searched and 42 percent are subject to injuries during their arrests.
 
When Hamas put out a call for recruitment in Lebanon on December 4, several mainstream Lebanese political parties and officials denounced the move, accusing the Palestinian group of violating their country’s national sovereignty, while recalling memories of the bloody civil war.

But the recruitment for a parallel armed force might end up serving the interests of Hezbollah, according to analysts, due to the Lebanese group’s military hegemony, particularly in southern Lebanon. Hamas is believed to be recruiting in Lebanon through announcements in the country’s Palestinian refugee camps and the mosques there.

But the expansion of Hamas in Lebanon would not only be beneficial to Hezbollah. As Hamas is under siege in Gaza, its popularity in the West Bank has grown, according to a recent opinion poll. In Lebanon, the group could be looking to play on their increased popularity and muscle out their political rivals Fatah.

...when three Israeli hostages succeeded in getting away from their captors, only to be killed by IDF soldiers, even though shirtless and carrying a white flag. What has since made that worse, and is causing considerable anger in Israel, is that calls from the hostages were picked up by an audio-equipped IDF search-dog five days before they were killed.

Officials in Israel have briefed journalists that a new operation called Nili, an acronym for a biblical phrase in Hebrew meaning “the eternal one of Israel will not lie”, would target senior leaders of the militant Islamist organisation.

But not all are convinced by such operations. Yossi Melman, a journalist and author who has covered the Israeli security services for decades, said the assassinations strategy “doesn’t solve anything”. “The Israeli intelligence community is in love with assassinations, and now they are ashamed, humiliated and they want to redeem themselves,” he said.

Efraim Halevy, a senior Mossad official in the 1970s and its director from 1998 to 2002, told the Guardian that force was only effective if used in the correct political circumstances. “If Hamas emerges as a total loss at the end of the war, then Israel has won the war … but this does not solve the Palestinian problem and the Palestinians will still be around,” Halevy said.

“This is the first time we’ve said it [out loud] and we want to do it … for revenge but also to stop people doing the same thing. Is it a useful strategy? Yes. Is it effective? Yes,” Avraham said. “After Munich, one target was killed 20 years later.
