Israel has revealed it has reprimanded two top army officers for authorising an artillery attack which hit a UN compound in Gaza last year. In the attack on 15 January 2009 the compound was set ablaze by white phosphorus shells. The admission is contained in the Israeli response to the UN's Goldstone report, which concluded both Israel and Hamas had committed war crimes.

Both officers

have retained their ranks, according to reports. The Israeli army denies breaking the rules of engagement over the use of white phosphorus. During the 22-day conflict last year, media pictures showed incendiary shells raining down on a UN compound.
