According to a report, the israeli defence force have8 released the result of a 72 hour investigation into strikes that killed seven aid workers and a young palestinian driver. Reportedly, the result was that the strikes were a grave mistake stemming from a serious failure due to mistaken identification, errors in decision making and an attack contrary to the standard operating procedures. According to the report, following an assessment of radio communication the conclusion was that the soldiers thought they were striking cars that had been seized by hamas, and their belief that the cars were carrying hamas gunmen was based on operational misjudgment. Reportedly, the idf have dismissed 2 senior officers.
