Geneva, 21 June 2024 – The United Nations Human Rights Council has accused Israel's military of conducting deliberate attacks on civilians in Gaza. This allegation was presented during a session of the Human Rights Council on Wednesday (June 19), where Chairman Navi Pillai highlighted numerous instances of alleged war crimes committed by Israel.

Chairman Navi Pillai stated that substantial evidence has been uncovered, pointing to potential war crimes by Israel. The report, based on an extensive investigation, indicates that the Israeli military has engaged in inhumane and cruel behavior in Gaza over the past eight months.

The report asserts that the Israeli army has intentionally targeted civilians in Gaza. In addition to attacks, there have been numerous incidents of forced evictions of Palestinians.

The UN Human Rights Council also noted that there was evidence of war crimes committed by Hamas during their attack on October 7.

The findings of the UN Human Rights Council have sparked significant international concern and highlight the ongoing humanitarian issues in the Gaza region. The allegations of deliberate attacks on civilians and other war crimes necessitate further scrutiny and action by the global community.
