OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: The Israeli Army’s Advocate General has summarily closed an internal investigation into allegations stemming from accounts by soldiers of abuses against Palestinian civilians committed during Israel’s recent war on Hamas in Gaza.
It took the military investigators just half the duration of the 22-day war in Gaza to bulldoze the accounts and to dismiss completely the serious allegations made by soldiers who had themselves taken part in the fighting.
In a public statement Monday, Brigadier General Avihai Mendelblit said the military police investigation revealed the testimonies “were based on hearsay and not on first-hand experience.”
