"Israeli Strike on Gaza: Killing of 106 Civilians Raises War Crime Concerns"

Human Rights Watch has accused Israeli forces of committing an apparent war crime by unlawfully attacking a residential building in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 106 civilians, including 54 children. The attack, which occurred on October 31, 2023, is among the deadliest single incidents for civilians since the Israeli government’s bombardment and ground incursion into Gaza following the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7. The Israeli military's long track record of failing to credibly investigate alleged war crimes underscores the importance of the International Criminal Court’s inquiry into serious crimes committed by all parties to the conflict.

"Exploring the Devastation: A Look Inside Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital"

Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the region, has been severely damaged after two weeks of intense assault by Israeli troops battling Hamas militants. The hospital, which housed maternity wards, surgery suites, and emergency rooms, has been mostly destroyed, with the IDF claiming it was used as a mustering point and command center for terrorists. The IDF led a group of foreign journalists through the compound, showcasing the destruction and claiming to have killed and detained numerous Hamas fighters. The hospital staff and Hamas officials deny the military's allegations, stating that the complex was not used for military purposes. The raid has left the hospital unfit to be a medical center, with the IDF claiming it as a success but also acknowledging the tragedy of destroying the hospital buildings.
