Israel’s army has admitted its soldiers made mistakes over the killing of 15 emergency workers in southern Gaza on 23 March.

    mistake

    Uuuhhuuuhhhhh

    Insisted that some of them were Hamas members

    Of course they are. Blow up a kinder garten and just claim that all 4 year olds were Hamas soldiers

    So, now what? Nothing, I’d expect.

    I don’t see them throwing soldiers under the bus, like the US.
