The pro-Palestinian faction here always accuses Israel of blatant crimes but do they know that Israel investigates each claim?
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's military ordered a criminal investigation of one of its deadliest airstrikes in last summer's war in the Gaza Strip — an attack that killed 24 members of one family, most of them children, according to death certificates obtained by The Associated Press.
The probe was one of eight criminal investigations announced late Saturday, bringing the total of such probes to 13. The other new cases include suspected looting, the killing of two ambulance drivers and the killing of a Gaza man carrying a white flag.
The military said it closed seven other cases of alleged wrongdoing by troops after an internal review, including two strikes in which it said troops were unaware of the presence of civilians in the area and two incidents in which Israel apparently was not involved. Eighty-five incidents are still under review, it said.
