UN says Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups may have committed war crimes in a deadly raid

Associated Press  

GENEVA — The U.N. human rights office is citing possible war crimes by Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in connection with a deadly raid by Israeli forces that freed four hostages over the weekend and killed hundreds of Palestinians. Office spokesman Jeremy Laurence expressed concerns about possible violations of rules of proportionality, distinction and precaution by the Israeli forces in Saturday’s raid at the urban Nuseirat refugee camp. Laurence said Palestinian armed groups who are holding hostages in densely populated areas are putting the lives of nearby civilians and the hostages at “added risks” from the hostilities. Promptly.” The Israeli diplomatic mission in Geneva criticized the U.N. human rights chief, Volker Türk, saying the “high commissioner has finally realized that Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields.” “Yet, instead of taking a clear and consistent stance against this abhorrent strategy, he falls into the habit of slandering Israel,” the statement said.
