A new Human Rights Watch report finds an October 31 Israeli airstrike on a six-story apartment building in central Gaza is an apparent war crime. HRW released this video accompanying their findings.
Narrator: “Without warning, four munitions struck the building in the space of 10 seconds. The airstrike demolished the building and killed at least 106 people, including 54 children. Human Rights Watch’s research found no apparent military target in or near the building. The airstrike violated the laws of war and is an apparent war crime.”
Human Rights Watch also urged Israel’s allies, including the U.S. and European nations, to suspend arms transfers to Israel and back the International Criminal Court’s investigation into likely war crimes. This comes as, earlier today, the U.N. Human Rights Council adopted a resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
