Israel may have violated laws of war in Gaza bombings: UN

(NewsNation) — Israeli forces may have failed to distinguish between civilians and fighters in Gaza and therefore violated the laws of war, according to a new United Nations Human Rights report.

The U.N. found that Israel used huge explosives in densely populated areas in six bombings between Oct. 7 to Dec. 2, 2023, "systematically" violating "the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack."

The possible war crimes led to "high civilian fatalities and injuries and destruction of civilian objects."
