HRW declared that “Israel and Palestinian armed groups have committed serious abuses amounting to war crimes during the current hostilities”. These, it said, began on October 7th with the raid into Israel by Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions which killed 1,400 and took hostage more than 200, according to Israel. These actions and the firing by Palestinian groups of thousands of rockets into Israeli communities amounted to war crimes, HRW said..
While conducting attacks on the whole of Gaza, Israel has ordered more than a million northern residents to evacuate to the south to escape military operations in the north. “This order risks mass forced displacement, a war crime,” HRW stated.
