Israeli defense officials say an investigation by the military has concluded that an errant Israeli mortar shell was behind a deadly strike that killed dozens of Palestinian civilians taking shelter at a U.N. school in Gaza last week.

oh it was an errant shell ... well why didn't you say so ...
update: The IDF changed their mind, it wasn't an errant shell.
"We are still sticking by our official position that according to our initial inquiry, the whole thing started when terrorists fired mortar shells from the school compound [at soldiers]," Capt. Ishai David told The Jerusalem Post.
UNRWA has insisted that there were no gunmen in the school compound.
Already last week the aid organization told the Post, "The Israeli army in private briefings with diplomats have admitted that the militant fire from Jabalya yesterday came from outside the UNRWA school compound, and not from inside the UNRWA school compound," spokesman Christopher Gunness said.
"This allegation against UNRWA is completely baseless," he said.
