Dr. Az A-Din Abu El-Eish has cared for Israeli patients for years. He is a gynecoligist trained in Israel. He speaks Hebrew. His daughters had been part of Palestinian-Israeli friendship camps. The doctor has been an outspoken humanitarian for years and years until the crime by Israel was committed, as he says, killing his daughters in their Gazan home in the early evening 17 January 2009.

The grieving doctor also pointed out lies in the IDF report that states they killed his daughters. The lie is according to the doctor's statement that his home that was shelled killing his young children was located not in the northeast district of Jebaliya in Gaza City bu but in the Sajaiyeh district, a realtively safe civilian neighborhood, where no firing by anyone took place from his house, and no pamphlets warning of an impending shelling were dropped.

Dr. Abu El-Eish stated: "From the first moment of this crime, I said I know the truth. I want to thank everyone who brought this report and this announcement, and who took responsibility for committing this crime of shelling my house with two shells."

The Israeli military took the blame Wednesday for the deaths in Gaza of three daughters of a prominent Palestinian doctor during fighting in mid-January between Israeli troops and Hamas militants, the Israel Defense Forces said.

"...no pamphlets warning of an impending shelling were dropped." Are you kidding? Does Hamas warn Israelis when the send in suicide bombers or fire rockets? Why not hold Hamas to the same standard you hold Israel to? Geez

Lied ???? - what??

1. Israel investigated and issued a report taking the blame

2. The doctor thanked Israel for the honest investigation

"In a message broadcast on Israel’s Channel 2 television news on Wednesday, Dr. Abuelaish, speaking in Hebrew, thanked the Israelis for carrying out an honest investigation. “We all make mistakes,” he said, adding that he hoped that such an error would never be repeated."
