Israeli Army: Civilian Deaths Unexpected in Gaza Airstrike

Associated Press

   JERUSALEM - The Israeli military on Tuesday said it has wrapped up an
   investigation into an airstrike that killed nine members of a
   Palestinian family in the Gaza Strip. The report claims the targeted
   house had been used by Islamic militants but also admitted it didn't
   expect the strike to result in civilian casualties.

   The Nov. 14 airstrike in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah came in
   the closing hours of a fierce two-day burst of fighting between Israel
   and the Islamic Jihad militant group. Without warning, the overnight
   Israeli strike destroyed the house, killing nine members of the
   extended Abu Malhous family, including two women and five children
   under the age of 13.
