The Israeli military acknowledged on Thursday that it was responsible for killing a United Nations aid worker in a strike on a UN guesthouse in Gaza last month, backtracking on its previous denials in the face of mounting public evidence of Israeli responsibility.

The Israeli military said its preliminary investigation into the incident “indicates that the fatality was caused by tank fire from IDF troops operating in the area.”

So what they initially called baseless slander was, in fact, based?

when admitting has no consequences, you might as well claim all of it. They are backed by all of the most powerful nations at this point.

It's gonna pass by like vietnam, afghanistan, and iraq. Without Consequences.

Shocking. That Israel acknowledged their crime for once, that is.
