The Israeli military has closed an investigation into claims that Israeli troops shot unarmed Palestinian women and children during its 22-day war on Gaza.
Military investigators said on Monday that Israeli soldiers were passing on "hearsay" when they described the alleged incidents, published by Israeli media earlier this month.
Avichai Mendelblit, Israel's military judge, said investigations "found crucial components of [the soldiers' descriptions] were based on hearsay and were not supported by specific personal knowledge".
He said it was unfortunate that the soldiers, who discussed their Gaza experiences in a closed-door session on February 13, had been careless about accuracy.

I did not wonder a second as I read this. How else could the army with highest morale in the world? They closed investigations on other massacres (here an example about the massacre of second massacre of Qana), so nothing new really.
When is the International community going to make Israel accountable for their deeds if their own investigations show no guilt? International Law is made only against the weak
