The United Nations rights chief has called on Israel to allow an independent probe of military actions – saying their Israeli forces may have committed war crimes during the 11-day conflict with Hamas. During a Human Rights Council session, High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said “air strikes in such densely populated areas resulted in a high level of civilian fatalities and injuries as well as the widespread destructions of civilian infrastructure. Such strikes raise serious concerns of Israel’s compliance with the principles of distinction and proportionality under international humanitarian law.”
Hamas, the Islamist terrorist organisation stocks up on Iranian rockets and when it thinks it has enough to make a difference, fires them at Israel. It doesn't give a shit where they land or who they kill.
Thankfully, Israel is light years ahead of Hamas and has an Iron Dome system designed to shoot rockets out of the air before they land. Most are wiped out, but some still get through.
Not aimed at military targets, they fall into the streets and fields of Israel, most of whose people are secure in bomb shelters.
