An "Israeli" enemy commander was probed Thursday over his involvement in the killing of 21 Gazan family members during the "Israeli" brutal war on Gaza, Operation Cast Lead.

According to Ynet, the "Israeli" Commander, Colonel Ilan Malka, said that he was not aware of the present of civilians in the household where he approved an airstrike, which caused the death of 21 Samouni family members, and injured 19 others.

The recent probe was launched after the UN fact-finding mission, lead by Judge Richard Goldstone, found "Israel" guilty in bombing and deliberately targeting civilians.

The latest report on the "Israeli" attack read, "Everything indicated that the "Israeli" forces knew that there were about 100 civilians in the house. Indeed, the families had asked to be allowed to leave the area towards a safer place, but had been ordered to stay in Wa'el Al Samouni's house. The house must have been under constant observation by the "Israeli" soldiers, who had complete control over the area at the time".

According to "Israeli" Haaretz, a high security source said that this recent probe has raised "explosive and highly sensitive material", where in this context; the "Israeli" enemy's rules of engagement could be questioned.

Haaretz reported that so far, no decision has been made concerning whether to charge the officer in charge of the airstrike or not.
