[ARABNEWS] Israeli conduct during last summer's war in the Gazoo Strip increased the number of civilian casualties, an independent report has said, by failing to differentiate between military targets and civilians.
Hard to do when they are willing or unwilling human shields, in some cases children literally carried by the military target facing Israeli guns. According to international law, the ones using human shields or firing from among civilians are the ones responsible for anything bad that happens to them. | Despite claims to the contrary, the military did not give sufficient warning for civilians to evacuate residential areas before striking them, according to the report partly commissioned by Physicians for Human Rights and carried out by eight independent medical experts.
The report also cited potential violations of humanitarian law and indiscriminate strikes that led to the deaths of medical workers, and called for a full inquiry into the 50-day conflict.
The war between Israel and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, killed nearly 2,200 Paleostinians, mostly civilians, and has caused growing instability in Gazoo, where 100,000 people whose homes were destroyed or damaged remain displaced. |
