New Questions Arise Over Gaza Beach Incident

Charles at Little Green Footballs wonders whether this is just the latest Pallywood hoax. Good question.

The Israelis have investigated and determined that the explosion could not have been caused by them. They stopped any kind of artillery shelling 15 minutes prior to the explosion that killed an indeterminate number of people (the Palestinians keep shifting the number, but it appears to be anywhere from 6 to 20 people). Now, it is still possible that an errant artillery shell was fired into the area, and exploded in the crowd 15 minutes after the last artillery shell was fired, but that is a remote possibility.

A far more likely possibility? Terrorists were trying to assemble a bomb and it went off in their faces - taking out a bunch of nearby civilians.

And to top it off, Hamas has levelled the entire area - eliminating any chance to examine whatever forensic evidence may have been available to anyone seeking answers about the incident.
