'Defence system' on attacked troop carrier failed to work: Report
|
[Al Jazeera] A preliminary investigation by the Israeli military found the Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
attack that killed eight troops in an army vehicle near Rafah was carried out with a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) and a defence system failed to stop it.
The short range of the rocket launch is likely why the system didn’t work, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation reports. The armoured personnel carrier was carrying eight Israeli soldiers from the 601st engineering battalion.
The rocket penetrated outer compartments where bombs and mines were kept, and "secondary explosions left no chance for the soldiers to survive", it said.
The body of a Paleostinian fighter and an RPG launcher was found during a search in the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood northwest of Rafah. He was apparently killed in the blast.
