Israel Probes 2 High-Profile Gaza Killings 
-------------------------------------------


 
The Israeli military says it has opened criminal probes of two of its
most publicized killings of Palestinian civilians during the summer's
assault on Gaza. Investigators will examine the killing of four
Palestinian children on a Gaza beach and a later attack that killed 14
people in a U.N. school, one of several hitting U.N. shelters. At least
2,100 Palestinians, more than 75 percent civilian, were killed in the
Israeli assault. Critics say Israel is seeking to deflect international
scrutiny, including a United Nations Human Rights Council probe and
potential cases before the International Criminal Court.
