Israel army closes inquiry into deaths of 21 Gazans
The Israeli military closed its investigation into the shelling deaths of 21 members of a Palestinian family, and said it would not file any charge in what was one of the gravest incidents in the 2009 war in the Gaza Strip. - The military's move, which exonerates Israeli soldiers from any responsibility in the killings, outraged relatives and the Israeli human-rights group that had pressed for the inquiry. They said the findings proved the army is not capable of investigating the conduct of its soldiers.
