The Israeli central Court rejected a lawsuit filed by human rights organization from Gaza, on behalf of Daya family which lost 22 of its members during the war on Gaza.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said in a statement on Tuesday that the rejection decision represents "a continuation to the series of denial of justice for Palestinian victims."
It pointed out that the occupation court justified its decision on the grounds that the martyrs had died during a military operation and that the occupation forces are not responsible for that.
Hebrew newspapers also quoted the Judge as claiming: "The injury was unintended. In all wars errors occur that may kill people from both sides. During wars each party shall bear full responsibility for the damages on its elements or on civilians".
The occupation forces had bombarded on January 6, 2009, during its aggression on the Gaza Strip and known as "Operation Cast Lead", a house belonging to Fayez Mesbah Daya, located in Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, resulting in destroying the house and killing 22 members of its inhabitants.
The human rights center noted that the court's issued such decision despite the confession made by occupation army in July 2009, that "faulty intelligence information led to shelling Daya family's house by Israeli warplanes", stressing that the Judge's logic cannot be accepted as the victims were civilians and protected under the fourth Geneva Convention.
