Death on the beach
The Guardian carries a report on further investigations of the death of the Ghalia family on a beach in Gaza. Quite frankly, the Isreali military account of what happened is nonsense. Take a look at the military's timeline of events and see if you spot something wrong:
Military accountYup, just after firing six shells on the beach, people are sunbathing there and having picnics.
4.30 to 4.48pm: Six shells fired at beach
4.57pm: Video drone records calm on beach
4.57 to 5.10pm: Explosion kills Ghalia family
5.15pm: Drone records arrival of first ambulance
There's a lot more in The Guardian article. The Israeli military's version of events is ludicrous.The committee acknowledged the army fired six shells on and around Beit Lahia beach from artillery inside Israel. But it said that by coincidence a separate explosion — probably a mine planted by Hamas or a buried old shell — occurred in the same area at about the same time, killing the family.
