They don't need one. Israel already let the cat out of the bag. They blamed it on one guy thinking he saw a weapon on grainy drone footage.
Which is obviously bullshit. And in my opinion you don't get a second shot at an explanation like that. Anyone involved in the strike and the cover up should be tried by a third party like the Hague.
For those wondering why that's a bullshit line, here's what we know.
-
The convoy was coordinated, so it should have been on a protected target list. That means they'd need evidence it was being used for military purposes. Taking a single rifle for a walk isn't a military purpose.
-
It was well marked. So if they were surveiling the convoy they would need to be blind to not notice the markings.
-
The convoy traveled with a large separation. If they were worried about one guy with a rifle why did they strike other vehicles? In order to be effective as a military unit they would need to be much closer together. Also, with protected targets you strike only exactly as much as you need to. Hitting all three vehicles is a clear over reach.
-
They struck the convoy shortly after they had done a stop to disburse food. If they were under surveillance this would be obvious civilian activity.
-
This isn't the first aid convoy Israel has hit with precision weapons. There is a pattern here.
