Yes it's a terrible tragedy. Agreed.
But how do you know they didn't follow "their" rules of engagement? How do you know "their" rules of engagement aren't shout "terrorist" at anyone waving a white flag before executing them because that is exactly what appears to have happened here.
Because this isn't an isolated incident where civilians have been shot in cold blood. Far from it.
Should the soldiers documented killing non Israeli civilians be discharged too or is it only own goal cases?
