Israel Investigates Airstrike that Killed Palestinian Civilians
(Wall Street Journal) Dov Lieber - Israel said it is investigating whether an intelligence failure was behind an airstrike last week that killed civilians during an operation targeting militants in Gaza. The IDF said Sunday it wasn't aware of any civilians living in the homes that were hit. They were registered in its database of militant sites a few months ago and were checked by intelligence officials a few days before the actual strike. "The IDF regrets any injury to innocent civilians, and regularly takes a variety of efforts, intelligence and operational, in order to avoid, as much as possible, harm to innocent civilians as a result of an attack on military targets," it said.
