Israeli army admits error over deadly Gaza attack 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe Israeli army said Tuesday that a strike in Gaza that killed nine members of the same family had been due to a faulty assessment of the risk to civilians. He and eight members of his family were killed by the attack, including five children. A statement from the army said that intelligence collected ahead of the attack had indicated that the residence “was designated as an Islamic Jihad terror organization military compound”. In its Tuesday report, the Israeli army said its November operation had been a success, dealing a blow to Islamic Jihad and serving to increase the security of Israeli civilians and help prevent “a wider military campaign.”
