March 29 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Sunday it had found no negligence or ethical failures by officers involved in the killing of Israeli farmer Ofer Moskovitz near the Lebanese frontier earlier this month.

The head of Israel's Northern Command said on March 23 that Israeli forces had misfired artillery, killing 60-year-old Moskovitz, an avocado farmer from the town of Misgav Am.

The military had initially attributed the incident to cross-border fire from Lebanon.

In the capital on Sunday, Fadi Shammas, a 37-year-old engineer, carried his infant daughter Nala, who wore a white dress.
