Anger as Israel ends probe into children’s airstrike deaths

The father of one of four Palestinian children killed on a Gaza beach during last summer’s Hamas-Israel war said he is outraged by the announcement from the Israeli military that it is closing its internal inquiry into the incident without any indictments.

The father also said he hopes the killings would be part of a Palestinian war crimes case against Israel, which is expected to be presented to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

“There is no justice in the internal investigation,” Mohammed Bakr said. “We are counting on the ICC and human rights. We are not afraid and we are confident we will win because the world is with us.”
