Following claims made by graduates of the Rabin Pre-military Academy at a conference last month that IDF soldiers deliberately shot and killed Gaza civilians during Operation Cast Lead, the army completed its official investigation into the accounts on Monday and concluded that they were categorically false and based on rumors.

On Wednesday, the Jerusalem Post, citing an IDF source, had reported that the allegations were proven to be untrue in official army investigations.

[A] soldier named Aviv, who had said that an elderly Palestinian woman had been shot, but admitted to the army that he had heard about the incident from two people who themselves had just heard a rumor. The army said its probe found that the shots were actually fired at a female suicide bomber.

Hmmmm.....imagine that.

Naturally, the Muslim world will scream whitewash.
