IDF: Channel 10 report on Gaza beach blast a lie

Channel 10 News claimed Monday night that a piece of shrapnel removed from a
Palestinian injured in last week's explosion on Lahia Beach in Gaza almost
certainly came from an Israeli weapon.
The Israel Defense Forces Spokesman's Office rejected the report.
"Unfortunately, Channel 10 persists in publicizing falsehoods despite having
been given the true facts," said the IDF Spokesman.
The military inquiry committee headed by Major General Meir Klifi based its
conclusions largely on a fragment extracted from a girl wounded in the
incident who was hospitalized in Israel. Laboratory examinations by the IDF
and then by an Israeli academic institution, the army said, proved
conclusively that the shrapnel was not from a 155 mm shell of the type used by
the IDF and resembled explosives used by Palestinian organizations.
Channel 10's Shlomo Eldar reported Monday that last week another fragment,
removed from a different Palestinian, is of Israeli origin.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch presented findings ostensibly proving that
Israeli shell fragments had been found near the site of the explosion.
