VOA reads the Israeli report and reports that Israeli military planning was at fault.
Israel has published its first internal investigation of the deadly raid on an aid flotilla heading to the Palestinian-ruled Gaza Strip. An Israeli military inquiry said the army was poorly prepared for the raid on an aid flotilla trying to break the Gaza blockade six weeks ago.

Al Jazeera reads the same report and reports that Israel concluded their use of force was justified.
An Israeli military investigation into the raid on a flotilla of Gaza-bound aid ships, has concluded that "the use of live fire" that killed nine activists "was justified".
The investigation, conducted by an army committee, also found that mistakes were made "at quite a senior level" but did not recommend punishments for any of the officers involved in the May 31 raid.
"The team determined that the Navy Commando soldiers operated properly, with professionalism, bravery and resourcefulness and that the commanders exhibited correct decision making," the Israeli army said in a statement on Monday.

Draw your own conclusions. Read the actual report of it all here. Warning: the first 8-10 paragraphs are all the background of how the report came to be authorized. It's very dry.
