Update: Unreported

(See original article: Unreported)

I have recently heard that the Israeli Government has found that elements of its report were incorrect. It now seems possible that the deaths were caused by an Israeli shell fired in error, possibly against orders.

It is interesting, however, that this item of news was much more widely reported than the original report, which exonerated the IDF. The media are ready and willing to attack states when they make mistakes, but when rebel/militant/terrorist groups make regular small-scale attacks on civilians (such as the numerous Qassam rockets fired every day at Israeli towns from Palestinian positions), this remains largely - to quote my original article - unreported.
