Comptroller to launch probe of Gaza op

State Comptroller Yosef Shapira announces he will launch an investigation into the military and political leadership’s handling and decision-making in Operation Protective Edge.

According to a statement from his office, Shapira’s decision was triggered by claims that Israel violated international law in the month-long campaign in the Gaza Strip.

Shapira also decides to expand investigation of the terror tunnels near the Gaza Strip to include home front preparedness, the Home Front Command’s activities during the campaign, treatment of the population in conflict zones, and public diplomacy.
