Report: Chances slim that IDF shell killed Gazans on beach
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12 June 2006 | JPost.com.staff

Posted on 06/12/2006 3:14:39 PM PDT by ScaniaBoy

The IDF probe investigating the deaths of seven Palestinian civilians from an explosion on a beach in Gaza on Friday evening concluded that chances were slim that the accident was caused by IDF shelling.

According to Channel 2, the findings, expected to be formally released on Tuesday, showed an inconsistency between the shrapnel found in the body of one of the wounded babies and the metal used in IDF artillery.

Moreover, the investigation noted the absence of a crater at the site of the explosion, as would be expected if an IDF shell had landed there.

The third observation casting doubt on the possibility of IDF shelling was the gap between the time when the army shot the artillery and when the commotion on the beach began. According to the probe's findings, several minutes past after the shelling, before the Palestinians on the beach reacted.

The leading theory currently entertained, suggested that an explosive charge, buried by Palestinians on the Gaza beach to prevent Israeli infiltration, was behind the explosion.

Throughout the whole investigation, army officials complained at the lack of Palestinian cooperation. Unconfirmed reports further suggested attempts by Palestinians to remove shrapnel from the bodies of the wounded, treated in Israeli hospitals, thus impeding the investigation.

Not yet the official report - but the leaked info does not seem to be any surprise for most of the posters at this forum.

So the Arabs lied again - and their incompetence cost the life of some of their kin.

Let us hope that the conclusion of this story will cause the media to be a bit more careful in other cases - such as Haditha.

Will be weeks before the US MSM admits to this fraud, on page B-11.

I assume that Channel 2 is an Israeli channel? Whom, in the media, do you suppose will give the findings on these shores? I won't hold my breath.

MSM will report they have a Sunni witness from Hathida who saw the Israeli shell hit the group in gaza.

Like a mine? And fughedaboudit. They aren't going to be more careful, it's their MO to get their licks in early, knowing that the accusations won't be borne out, but then it's POOF! Down the memory hole. Think Jenin "massacre".

Another Jenin type lie and set up of the Israelis. These Muzzies have no integrity. I predict Haditha will have been a similar con job.

Faked atrocities seem to be the M.O. du jour for the Islamoterrorists.

So will ABC issue a retraction? I think they were the first to hop on the bandwagon.

Hey, Dreamin was released in 1960!

And yes I agree with you all - I am far far too optimistic, but one mustn't give up hope, or?

I'm sure Haditha is a similar set-up to Jenin and a lot of other crap. I just hope the US Military is strong enough to stand up to any political pressure.

I wonder how many of these "accidents" happened during Arafat's period.. and then they blamed it on the Isrealis.. and MSM lapping it up blindly.

Palestinian Terrorist Ashwari-Jennings:
"Actually at ABC we hate Israel and America.
There will be no retraction, you dhimmis."
