Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv on Saturday after the Israeli military mistakenly killed three hostages carrying a white flag in Gaza, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a “terrible tragedy.” U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has left for the Middle East, with planned stops in Bahrain and Qatar, as well as Israel, where he will discuss “the next steps in the conflict,” the Defense Department said.
