Deadly Israeli strike on residential building ‘apparent war crime’: Human Rights Watch

Human Rights Watch said Thursday that an Israeli strike on an apartment building in Gaza City last October was an “apparent war crime,” citing no military rationale behind the attack after a months-long investigation.

The Oct. 31 strike killed at least 106 civilians, including 54 children, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in its report.

The report “found no evidence of a military target in the vicinity of the building at the time of the Israeli attack, making the strike unlawfully indiscriminate under the laws of war,” the group said. “Israeli authorities have provided no justification for the attack.”

The findings come as the International Criminal Court continues its war crimes investigation into Israel, including a claim of genocide against Palestinians brought by South Africa. The court has not ruled on the genocide claim but has condemned the Israeli military’s conduct in the war.

Too bad. Collateral damage is a side effect of war. Look at how many civilians died in WW 2 as a result of Allied bombing.

IIRC, There were six times as many civilian casualties caused by Axis powers as there were by Allied powers.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chump change compared to some of the bombings in Germany, Dresden being one example.
