The U.N. Human Rights Council has announced South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu will lead a fact-finding mission to investigate this month’s killing of 19 Palestinian civilians in the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. One family lost 16 members when Israeli tanks opened fire on their house. Seven children died, the youngest just a year old. Israel has blamed the killings on a technical malfunction. Tutu says he is honored with the appointment and hopes the mission will help advance the cause of peace.
