Documents reviewed by Israeli newspaper Haaretz show that IDF investigators were "not convinced" by a deputy commander's claim that he misidentified aid vehicles as Hamas.

New details from the Israeli military's investigation into the killings of 15 aid workers in Gaza on 23 March directly contradict the IDF's official narrative.
Among the findings reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz is the revelation that materials gathered by the IDF show soldiers fired at the aid workers from "point-blank" range during the attack.
The IDF has said there was "no shooting from close distance" during the attack, but Sky News previously revealed that some shots were fired from as close as 12 metres away from one of the medics.
The revelations by Haaretz - contained in IDF documents leaked to the publication - come just days after Sky News released its investigation into the killings, which found major gaps and inconsistencies in the IDF's version of events.
On Sunday, two days after Sky News' investigation was published, the IDF put out a summary of the findings from its official investigation into the 23 March killing of 15 aid workers.
