IDF Probe: No “War Crimes” in Gaza

The IDF today made public the summary of its findings from commissions of inquiry studying varying aspects of Operation “Cast Lead.”  The commissions addressed a number of the most serious charges leveled against the IDF’s conduct in Gaza–including the use of white phosphorus and targeting civilians.  Investigators concluded that the Army’s actions had been well within the limits of international law in all operational matters and that there is no grounds for the current accusations of war crimes against Israel.  A further summary of the findings, with some analysis, is available through JPost.

    For the avoidance of doubt: Israel undertook five internal inquiries each headed by a Colonel from the IDF to investigate the allegations against the IDF. They found the IDF to be blameless apart form some minor lapses in intelligence.

    Israel is refusing to cooperate with the UN investigation into allegations claiming that the UN inquiry is biased.

    Biased? Not like having the IDF investigate the IDF.
