According to a report by international military experts, Israel went out of its way last summer to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza and observe international law during its crackdown.
According to Fox News, the report said that Israel even went on at the cost of its own soldiers and citizens.

The report stated that Israel "not only met a reasonable international standard of observance of the laws of armed conflict, but in many cases significantly exceeded that standard".
