The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said in a press release that in further evidence of the Israeli judiciary's complicity with impunity, and a continued denial of access for Palestinian victims to justice, the Israeli Central Court in Nazareth issued a decision on 05 September 2012 dismissing a claim filed on behalf of the al-Daya family, who lost 22 family members during the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip known as "Operation Cast Lead." The court claimed that the victims were killed in the course of a military operation and Israel is not responsible for their deaths.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), in its capacity as the legal representative for the only surviving member of the family, was informed of the decision on 10 September 2012.
Israeli newspapers quoted the Israeli judge: "The casualty was not intended. In all wars, there are mistakes that may lead to deaths on both sides. In wars, each party is fully responsible for the damage incurred to its members or to civilians, but not the damage incurred to the other party." more
