Questions raised about duty and accountability as Israel resumes bombardment of Gaza.
Israel has resumed its bombardment of Gaza after mediators failed to increase a seven-day ceasefire within the besieged territory. Air strikes have focused homes and refugee camps within the north, within the centre and within the south of Gaza.
Palestinians there have been already struggling a humanitarian disaster. The United Nations says 80 p.c of the inhabitants has been displaced and the healthcare system has collapsed.
The Israeli military offensive raises questions of duty and accountability.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is performing in self-defence after assaults by Hamas on southern Israel on October 7 killed 1,200 individuals.
It started a bombing marketing campaign of Gaza that very same day after which launched a floor offensive, killing greater than 15,000 Palestinians.
Under worldwide regulation, Israel is the occupying energy in Gaza and the West Bank and is obliged to guard all of the individuals there.
But Israel doesn’t recognise Palestine as a state and argues Hamas has bases in hospitals and residential areas, making them respectable navy targets.
