Concerning the deaths of members of a Palestinian family on Gaza beach last weekend Israeil Maj Gen. Meir Kalifi has just announced:
[A]ll possibilities that the cause of the explosion was an artillery shell fired on that Friday [by Israeli Defense Forces have been disproved. …On Saturday evening I expressed our regret for the Palestinian family and the members of the family that were killed, and I emphasized that expressing regret does not mean taking responsibility. Today I state clearly we still regret the incident, but we are not responsible for it.
