Israelis 'followed law in Gaza'


-The Israeli military says internal investigations show it acted according to international law during its operations in Gaza three months ago.

-A small number of errors did take place, it admits, such as the deaths of 21 people in a wrongly targeted house, but it claims these were "unavoidable".

-The military said Gaza militants had used civilian sites for cover

-Rights group have raised concerns about war crimes and say a wider, external investigation is needed. Palestinians say more than 1,400 Gazans were killed, of whom more than two-thirds were civilians. Israel puts the figure lower, at 1,166 dead, of whom it says about two-thirds were fighters. Ten Israeli soldiers were killed and three civilians died in rocket attacks.  

-International human rights campaign group Human Rights Watch, denounced the statement it as an insult to Gaza's dead civilians and an embarrassment to any Israeli officers who took military justice seriously.

Do you agree that Israel acted according to International law? Or do you think a wider ongoing investigation should continue? I personally believe the Hamas wussies used citizens as their shields which regretably led to many civilian deaths.
