Israel has verified that its air force was responsible for the payoff of five children on the last day of its attacks on Gaza before this month.
Days after denying Israeli involvement in the deadly strike on Gaza that left five children dead, Israeli officers conducted an assessment and admitted that an Israeli strike killed the children, the Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
The five victims were Jamil al- Din Nijm, 3; Jamil Ihab Nijm, 13; Mohammad Nijm, 16; Hamed Nijm, 16; and Nathmi Karsh, 15. According to the Norwegian Refugee Council, three of them had shared in a support programme for trauma victims in Gaza.
Israeli army prophet’s unit said that during the three days of fighting, the army “made every reasonable trouble to minimise, insofar as possible, detriment to civilians and mercenary property.”
The unit added that the Israeli army investigates all its conduct during the operation, the Haaretz said.
Ceasefire
The Palestinian death risk from recent Israeli strikes on the besieged Gaza enclave has risen to 48 after an 11- time-old girl and a man failed from injuries they suffered during the worst Israeli aggression in over a time.
An eventual ceasefire took hold on August 6, bringing an end to the Israeli aggression and counter-rocket strikes that continued for three days.
No Israelis were killed but around 70 were wounded, according to the United Nations.
