| [IsraelTimes] The Israeli military acknowledges that troops mistakenly shelled a United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... facility in central Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... last month, killing a UN worker. Until now, the IDF denied it had struck the UN guesthouse in Deir al-Balah on March 19. The IDF’s high-level General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism, an independent military body responsible for investigating unusual incidents amid the war, is looking into the event. The mechanism’s initial findings were presented today to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and UN representatives, the military says. According to the findings, on March 19, an IDF tank operating in the area fired a shell at the building, following a "suspicion of enemy forces in it." The investigation has found that the building was not identified by the tank crew as belonging to the UN. Zamir has instructed the head of the mechanism, Maj. Gen. (res.) Yoav Har-Even, to conclude the probe in the coming days and present the full findings to the UN representatives. The IDF says it "regrets this serious incident and continues to conduct thorough review processes to draw operational lessons and evaluate additional measures to prevent such events in the future." "We express our deep sorrow for the loss and send our condolences to the family," the military says. |

| #2 The investigation has found that the building was not identified by the tank crew as belonging to the UN. Then its a "Oopsie!" in a war theater. The original Geneva required that sanctuary buildings be clearly and unequivocally marked to avoid such mishaps. Just because the UN doesn't want its buildings shelled is not enough. |

| #1 "We express our deep sorrow for the loss and send our condolences to the family," the military says. How about a fine of 1 (one) NIS for the tank commander? |
