A video of events in Gaza almost a week ago taken by a drone pilotless craft verify IDF reports that terrorists and not IDF tank fire caused the unfortunate deaths of a Beit Hanoun mother and her four children.
An investigation into the incident was ordered by IDF Southern District Command Major-General Yoav Galant, placing an officer of the rank of colonel to lead the team that dissected the events, determining that accurate IDF fire struck terrorists which detonated the explosives they were carrying, leading to the deaths of civilians. The final report was submitted at the end of last week.
Four terrorists carrying weapons and explosives were detected and fired upon from the air, detecting an accurate hit. This led to the detonation of the explosives they were carrying.
The IDF continues to stress that terrorists are operating in the heart of civilian population centers, leading to such unfortunate incidents. The army remains firm in its position based on conclusive video evidence, placing the blame for the deaths of civilians on the Hamas regime in Gaza.
