Remember the grainy black&white footage the Israeli Air Force rolled out to "prove" that the urban area of Gaza where they dropped two munitions on October 20 had been almost deserted at the time?

Turns out they lied. Read this.

Israeli parliamentarian Yossi Sarid managed to worm an admission to that effect (but notably NO apology) out of IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon-- but only after Sarid had threatened to reveal the whole truth about the incident, in which apparently some nasty, sneaky, new kind of Israeli munition was used that Yaalon and his friends don't want the rest of us to know about.

Ten Palestinians, most of them civilians, died in the raid.
