Israeli Officers Under Investigation
There seems to be a constant perp walk of Israeli soldiers since its war in Gaza two years ago. This week the hand of justice has turned to investigate several senior Israeli officers who allegedly authorized an air strike that killed at least 21 Palestinians in Gaza in 2009. The Israeli army is being criticized for demolishing a family’s three-story property in order to take over the abode as a military position. This follows of course several other accounts of Israeli soldiers and officers acting inappropriately, such as the case of two soldiers who used a Palestinian boy to test out booby-traps. —JCL The Guardian: Senior Israeli army officers are under investigation by military police over the authorisation of an air strike that killed at least 21 members of one family during the three-week Gaza war in 2008-9. The officers are reported to include the commander of the Givati Brigade, Colonel Ilan Malka. No decision has been made on whether they will be charged. The air strike took place on 5 January 2009, nine days after the war began. The extended Samouni family were ordered to gather in one house after a three-storey property belonging to them was taken over as a military position.
