A top Spanish court on Tuesday shelved a probe targeting Israeli officials for alleged crimes against humanity over a deadly 2002 air raid in Gaza, which resulted in 14 civilian deaths and dozens of injuries, a court source said.
The National Audience, the country's top criminal court, decided to close the investigation as recommended by prosecutors.
Earlier this year, public prosecutors advised judge Fernando Andreu to shelve the case on the grounds that the attack, which killed a suspected leader of the Islamist movement Hamas, Salah Shehadeh, had been under investigation by Israel.
