The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said in a statement that Israel's report, Gaza Operation Investigations: Second Update, "serves to highlight the inadequacies inherent in Israel’s investigative system" and demonstrates the flaws in Israel's accountability system.
Citing several incidents in which Israel provided conflicting accounts of deadly military activity during its Operation Cast Lead assault or "wholly failed" to conduct independent investigations, the PCHR accused Israel of making efforts "to shield the perpetrators from justice."
