Israel says its shells could not have caused the explosion on the beach. Mr. Dahlan scoffed again. "It's a scandal, and the Americans don't even condemn it," he said. "It wasn't the Israelis? Who was it? The Palestinian air force?"
His mood switched again. In a way, he mused, it did not matter. "Palestinians will believe Israel did it, even if it didn't," he said.
So, even the London Times report (*) is useless.

Israel admits shell report flaws
From Stephen Farrell in Sudaliya
Radio and hospital reports contradict the Israeli account of fatal beach explosion
THE Israeli Army has admitted to The Times that its official account of the explosion that killed eight Palestinians picnicking on a Gaza beach last week was flawed. The account is also contradicted by a UN radio transmission.
The army has told The Times that its report was flawed because it failed to mention two gunboat shells fired at about the time of the deaths. It insists, however, that they landed too far away to have been responsible.
