Re: Gaza beach deaths/Terrorism
Your alternate bolding of the JP article actually put's things into a better context, especially as what they are claiming about HRW is not necessarily quite the full picture.
The main argument between Klifi and HRW surrounded the timeline of the blast, which the IDF said took between 16:57 and 15:10, at least 10 minutes after artillery fire in the area had stopped. HRW however disputes this claim and basing itself on Palestinian hospital documentation, claims that the explosion actually took place right around the time of the IDF artillery fire.
Lucy Mair - head of the HRW's Jerusalem office - said Klifi's team had conducted a thorough and professional investigation of the incident and made "a good assessment" when ruling out the possibility that an errant IDF shell had killed the seven Palestinians on the Gaza beach.'We differ when it comes to other pieces of information from other sources that don't relate to the military strike such as the timing and the type of injuries," Mair explained. "While they [the IDF] made a very good presentation*, we still think there are enough unanswered questions that have not been examined by Klifi's team…and that is why *we believe there should be an independent investigation."
The UN, Palestine authority and now HRW have asked for an an independent investigation, but I don't think Israel will agree.
