IDf denied it attacked the only flour mill in Gaza during last year's war but now evidence has come to light that a 500ib bomb was defused at the site in February 2009, according to the UK's Independent newspaper. Clearly Israeli denials are not worth the paper they are written on.
Doubts have been cast on the Israeli rebuttal of the Goldstone Report, after it emerged last night that a bomb was defused last year at a Gaza flour mill that Israel had officially said did not come under air attack in the war.
The presence of a large part of the fractured Mark 82 bomb was reported to a demining team in late January 2009, and technicians were dispatched to defuse the 500lb device on 11 February.
The flour mill is the only one in Gaza, and the Goldstone Report, commissioned by the United Nations, said its destruction "was carried out for the purpose of denying sustenance to the civilian population".
