They have explained in the past that some times terrorist pose as hostages to get closer to idf and then detonate the explosives they had under their clothes.

They even killed hostages in past rescue operations like in 1976 when they rescued people from a plane hijack in uganda.

They anticipate that the terrorists will pose as victims so they perceive them as a potential threat.
