Israeli killings of Gaza civilians during raid may be war crimes: UN

Al Jazeera  

Palestinian officials say Israeli forces killed 274 people during the operation to rescue four captives held in Gaza. The United Nations human rights office says war crimes may have been committed by both Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups during an Israeli raid on Nuseirat in central Gaza last week. At least 274 people were killed during the raid on Saturday, according to Palestinian health officials, as Israeli forces rescued four captives held in Gaza for more than eight months. Furthermore, by holding hostages in such densely populated areas, the armed groups doing so are putting the lives of Palestinian civilians, as well as the hostages themselves, at added risk from the hostilities.” Israel’s mission to the UN in Geneva said Turk had “finally realised that Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields”. Laurence said Turk welcomed the UN Security Council resolution passed on Monday to endorse a US-backed Gaza ceasefire proposal and said all parties must ensure the “unfettered flow of humanitarian aid”.
