THREE Israeli hostages used food to write signs begging for help before they were mistakenly shot dead by the IDF.<\/p>\n
Yotam Haim, 28, Samer Talalka, 22, and Alon Shamriz, 26 were killed in the Shejaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City on Friday.<\/p>\n

An Israeli official said the men had emerged shirtless from a building with one carrying a white flag on a stick.<\/p>\n
They were tens of metres away but feeling threatened, an IDF soldier declared them "terrorists" and opened fire.<\/p>\n
Two were killed immediately while the third returned to the building wounded.<\/p>\n
After hearing a scream for help in Hebrew a commander ordered troops to cease fire before the hostage re-emerged.<\/p>\n
