Evidence is mounting that the explosion on a Gaza beach that killed an indeterminate number of Palestinians was not caused by Israel: Israel denies firing shell that killed Palestinians. (Hat tip: PartisanTimes.)
A top Israeli general says the country’s armed forces didn’t cause the explosion that killed eight Palestinians on Friday and ended the fragile ceasefire in the region.
Hamas, which leads the Palestinian Authority parliament, blamed the deaths on Tel Aviv as its military branch resumed attacks on Israel for the first time in 16 months.
But Israeli Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant said Sunday the military can prove it wasn’t Israeli fire that hit the beach in Gaza, killing eight people.
Galant, who commands Israel’s southern command, said Israel stopped firing 15 minutes before the explosion.
The Palestinian Authority has refused to cooperate with Israel’s investigation, and now the Jerusalem Post reports that Hamas has destroyed the evidence at the site of the explosion: Palestinians: Hamas cleared site of Gaza explosion.
