Army: Gaza probe still open
From Y-Net, emphasis mine:

Gaza Division commander says investigation into Beit Lahiya deaths in blast have not been completed yet, states it is still possible Palestinians were behind blast. Army Chief Dan Halutz says 'voicing regret does not imply we are claiming responsibility'

--snip--

More than 24 hours after the killing of seven civilians on Gaza's beach, the IDF has still not reached final conclusions regarding the incident.

--snip--

IDF officials said Saturday that even if it turns out eventually that the civilians' death was the result of army artillery , the strike took place in open areas where the Palestinian know that movement is banned. Therefore, they said, this is the unfortunate result of the ongoing war on terror, not an operational failure. However, the army wishes to investigate the incident in order to draw conclusions for the future.

--snip--


So either the Palestinians did it -or- it's not the IDF's fault.
