The U.N. human rights office has issued a statement highlighting potential war crimes committed by both Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in the recent deadly raid that resulted in the freeing of four hostages. The raid, carried out by Israeli forces in the Nuseirat refugee camp, led to the deaths of at least 274 Palestinians, including women and children.
The office expressed particular concerns about the actions of Israeli forces, citing possible violations of rules of proportionality, distinction, and precaution. It emphasized the need for all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law to protect civilians caught in the crossfire.
