Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. JERUSALEM (AP) -- The Israeli military said Friday that it dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in drone strikes in Gaza that killed seven aid workers on a food-delivery mission, saying the officers had mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement. The findings of a retired general's investigation into the Monday killings marked an embarrassing admission by Israel, which faces growing accusations from key allies, including the United States, of not doing enough to protect Gaza's civilians from its war with the militant Hamas group. The findings are likely to bolster widespread skepticism over the Israeli military's decision-making.
Terrifying video shows suspected Mexican drug cartel bombing rural community with drones, aid group says
A Mexican drug cartel is being accused of dropping as many as 33 bombs on the rural community of El Caracol this month. Video out of the small town shows residents looking up into the sky as an explosion can be heard. The drone attacks began Aug. 10, with 30 homemade bombs being dropped, and three more dropped the following day, according to the Minerva Bello Center for Victims of Violence. "We urge authorities at every level to urgently take the necessary actions to stop the aggression against the residents of El Caracol," the group said in a statement. The center further claims that residents say they first began seeing drone activity over the town in May of last year.
Last U.S. Drone Strike in Kabul Reportedly Targeted Aid Worker Who Didn't Have Explosives
U.S. officials called it a "righteous strike." It was the last drone strike before the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and American officials claimed they stopped an ISIS bomb that posed an imminent threat to the Kabul airport. Turns out though that the strike appears to have killed a worker for a U.S. aid group and there are indications there were no explosives in the vehicle that was hit, according to investigations by the New York Times and Washington Post. In all, 10 civilians appeared to have been killed in the Aug. 29 strike, including seven children. They were all members of the same extended family.
US Kabul drone strike appears to have killed an Afghan who worked for a US aid group: report
Special Forces veteran reacts to Gitmo detainees now leading the Taliban on'Fox News Primetime' The United States' account of a drone strike launched against a suspected terrorist in Afghanistan toward the end of the military withdrawal from Kabul is being challenged by a report suggesting the victim was not a threat to the United States. According to a New York Times report, the drone attack that American officials said killed an ISIS terrorist carrying a bomb in a car toward U.S. troops may have killed a man with no ties to ISIS and who was carrying water to family members. American military officials announced late last month that the drone strike, carried out the day after a suicide bombing killed 13 U.S. service members, killed an alleged "ISIS-K planner" and an "associate." The New York Times says that after reviewing video evidence and interviewing more than a dozen of the driver's friends and family members in Kabul, it has doubts about the U.S. version of events. "Times reporting has identified the driver as Zemari Ahmadi, a longtime worker for a U.S. aid group," the report states.
