An Israeli court has ruled that the death of an American activist, who was crushed in Gaza nine years ago, was a regrettable incident.
Rachel Corrie was protesting against the demolition of Palestinian homes in Rafah when she was hit by a bulldozer.
The civil court concluded that she had been killed by a falling slab of concrete.
