After four days of condemnations, the IDF finally released the video of the attack on Gaza Terrorists that ended up with the death of a mother and her children (video below). The evidence shows that the explosion that killed the family was caused by the weapons held by the terrorist under fire. Once again we see the terrorists using their families as "human shields." Once again we see Hamas is killing its own people.
As Condoleezza Rice travels to the Middle East for another round of hopeless negotiations, the issue she should be finding a solution for is, "How do you make peace with people who INTENTIONALLY put their children in the line of fire?" Using women and children as human shields is a favored tactic of the Palestinian terrorists, that puts them BELOW the level of animals. After all most Animals protect their babies. the Palestinians try to kill theirs. The full story and the video follow:
Army: Beit Hanun mother and children not killed by our fire
Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST May. 2, 2008A blast in northern Gaza that killed a Palestinian mother and her four children on Monday was not caused by the Israeli Air Force, a probe into the explosion conducted by the IDF Southern Command concluded on Friday.
Col. Shai Alkilai from the Southern Command conducted the probe over the last few days under orders from OC Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant and IAF Commander Maj. Gen. Elazar Shkedi.
The blast under investigation occurred Monday morning in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanun, when according to Palestinians, an IDF tank shell hit the home of the Abu Meatak family, as the mother Miyasar was preparing breakfast for her children. She was killed together with the four children.
According to the findings of the probe four terrorists were spotted carrying weaponry and explosives on their backs. The IAF fire was on target and only hit the armed terrorists. As a result there occurred secondary explosions which destroyed the home and killed the mother and her children.
The IDF probe ruled out the possibility that the family was hit by IDF fire. The IDF probe also revealed that the secondary explosion was far greater than the type of explosion caused by the initial IDF bombing and the munitions it had used.
The IDF said that it was unfortunate that innocent people were killed in the incident, but stressed that the blame lay with Hamas which operated from populated areas, using civilians as human shields.
