The IDF needs to complete another investigation on itself before announcing, "No, it was not a war crime and, no, you cannot see the evidence."

"We've gone over thorough it as much as we thought necessary so it looks like we've done something and we've come to the conclusion that we don't need a punishment for the alleged crimes (the evidence was accidentally misplaced) so there's no way of knowing so we should leave it at that.

See you in a few days. "

Aktchewullay water makes things wet it's not itself wet.
