Islamabad: According to the United Nations, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) may have violated international laws of war many times during their military operations in Gaza. On Wednesday, the UN Office of Human Rights stated that Israel was likely unable to distinguish between ordinary Palestinian civilians and Palestinian militants in its military campaign. This grave failure raises serious questions about how IDF conducted itself and whether it breached international humanitarian laws.
This data is from a review report on six Israeli attacks that caused many deaths among humans and destroyed much infrastructure in urban areas within the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip. The report suggests that Israeli forces might systematically violate principles of distinction, proportionality as well and precautions while making attacks, which could mean harm to noncombatants or civilian objects protected under the law during armed conflicts.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, said these violations were severe because they have been continuous. “Israel’s bombing campaign has continuously violated the means and methods chosen to avoid or minimize harm to civilians in war. He said. This statement indicates that the UN believes the IDF’s strategy or tactics do not align well with the standards meant to safeguard the lives and properties of innocent persons.
According to the health ministry under. Hamas administration in Gaza, the number killed by Israeli air strikes, etc., has exceeded 37,400 during eight months of conflict. The high casualty figures reflect both the intensity. The protraction of fighting and the densely populated nature of the Gaza Strip often caught up in the crossfire.
On October 7th this year when, a crucial deadly attack launched by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas occurred against southern Israel. It marked one of the deadliest days in recent history between Israelis & Palestinians. Then, more than a thousand nine hundred four people died, including those who had been taken hostage. Currently, they are still holding one hundred sixteen people captive, while the IDF has found only forty-one dead so far.
So far, nobody knows the number of lives lost or buildings destroyed. We understand that these two groups can only agree on something. They seem to want each other’s people to suffer as much as possible. Which has caused a lot of diplomatic tension between them.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ actions in Gaza have worried the United Nations. Which suggests that it might have violated global laws of war. All sides must follow international humanitarian principles and work towards peacefully resolving this crisis. In Gaza City alone, many people are dying, and lots of infrastructure has been destroyed. Global organizations are reviewing. Reporting what happened to hold those responsible accountable and to prevent further flop of innocent lives in affected zones.
