Washpost_1Correspondent Scott Wilson of the Washington Post botched this background info tying in the Beit Hanoun disaster to June’s Gaza beach disaster:

The inquiry will be led by Maj. Gen. Meir Kalifi, deputy chief of ground forces, who headed the June investigation into an explosion on a Gaza beach that killed six members of the Ghaliyah family. He concluded that Israel was not responsible for the blast, although a Human Rights Watch investigator said the explosion most likely came from a fired artillery shell.

Wilson’s only partly correct. The HRW investigator, Mark Garlasco, was unable to disprove the IDF’s findings.
