IDF to investigate deaths of 4 Gaza kids
The IDF is investigating the reported deaths of four Palestinian children on the beach in Gaza from an Israeli shelling earlier this afternoon.
According to Israel Radio, the Israeli military has appointed Maj. Gen. Noam Tibon to investigate all Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip during Operation Protective Edge in which noncombatants were killed.
The death toll in the more than weeklong conflict has risen to over 212 Palestinians, of which the IDF says half are noncombatants.
