HRW calls for an ICC investigation into 'apparent war crimes' committed by Israel in Gaza in May, devastating 'entire families without any apparent military target nearby'

Israel and Palestinian armed groups of committing war crimes during an 11-day Israeli offensive on the Gaza strip in May, and called for an International Criminal Court inquiry into their violations during the assault.

The report also said Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups committed unlawful attacks by launching more than 4,000 unguided rockets and mortars into Israel and HRW will release its findings regarding them separately. “Israeli authorities’ consistent unwillingness to seriously investigate alleged war crimes, as well as Palestinian forces’ rocket attacks toward Israeli population centers, underscores the importance of the International Criminal Court’s inquiry.”

Cadman said that it matters not whether Israel accepts the jurisdiction of the ICC or not and Israel’s complaints of being unfairly targeted will have little impact. Cadman said it’s clear that the crimes, as alleged, by all parties to the hostilities, fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in The Hague and that those responsible could face charges for war crimes or crimes against humanity.
