IDF: Malfunction possible cause of Gaza incident

[Phx_Dem]

The IDF is investigating Wednesday’s north Gaza shelling incident that left 18 Palestinians dead.

Southern Command Chief Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant told reporters that, “one possibility is that there was a malfunction in one of our targeting devices.”

“So far our examination has revealed that the forces targeted an area located some 500 meters from the actual point of impact,” Galant said, adding that the malfunction may have been in the adjustment or targeting devices.

“It was estimated during the morning hours that Palestinians will attempt to fire Qassams from this area toward Ashkelon or some other area,” he said. “When you fire artillery shells toward this area there is a good chance that you are preventing an attack.”
