An IDF investigation into the killing of Benayahu Mellet in the Tell gunfight concluded that too few troops were deployed to the scene, and it remains unclear which side fired the fatal shot, according to The Times of Israel.
01 · THE DISPATCH
The IDF's internal probe into the Tell gunfight, in which Benayahu Mellet was killed, found that the number of troops deployed to the scene was insufficient for the situation. The investigation also noted that the source of the fatal shot—whether from Israeli forces or from the other side—could not be determined with certainty. The findings were reported by The Times of Israel on Wednesday, citing military sources. The incident and its aftermath continue to be reviewed by the military command.
