An Israeli military report has concluded that flawed intelligence-gathering and planning led to the deadly botched raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.
The report does not fault the commandos who opened fire after being confronted by violent pro-Palestinian activists on board one of the ships.

Declassified sections of the report released Monday say faulty intelligence led the military to underestimate the potential for violent resistance on board.
