The UN's general freedoms boss on Friday encouraged an inquiry into Israel's use of "high-impact ballistic weapons" in Gaza, which he said was causing wanton destruction in the besieged Palestinian territory.
Volker Turk, the UN's top chief for fundamental freedoms, said Israel should stop using such weapons in the enclave, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, a large part of whom has recently been uprooted by some fighting. The Turk did not say anything specific about the weapon he was referring to. Asked for comment, the Israeli military said it was checking and would respond later. Israel's air, sea, and ground barrage of Gaza, now joined by a ground assault somewhere inside the area, hopes to eliminate Hamas, the aggressor group that controls Gaza. Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis in cross-line attacks on October 7, according to Israeli counts, and the United Nations said the attacks amounted to atrocities. Israel's siege of Gaza has killed 10,000 Palestinians in the Palestinian territories, according to health experts.
"The widespread Israeli attack on Gaza, recalling the use of high-impact destabilizing weapons for the densely populated area ... clearly has an overwhelming auxiliary and general liberties effect," Turk advised a news conference during a visit to Amman, the Jordanian capital."The attacks should be investigated... We have serious concerns that these are a series of unbalanced attacks in violation of supporting regulations worldwide."Israel blames Hamas for the regular movement of civilians into Gaza, saying the gathering involves people as human security and hiding weapons and hardware around clinics, which have been bombed.
"Any use of objects by regular people and non-military personnel to protect Palestinian armed gatherings from attack is against the laws of war," Turk said. "However, the pledge to guarantee the protection of regular citizens led by Palestinian armed groups does not clear Israel."Turk likewise said Israel should go to greater lengths to protect Palestinians in the embattled West Bank, where brutality between Palestinians and Israeli officers and vanguards is on the rise. Turk said 176 Palestinians, including 43 youths and a woman, have been killed in episodes involving Israeli security forces since early October. Somewhere around eight Palestinians were killed by Israeli pioneers.
Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas and has said it is leading a counter-terrorism operation against insurgents gathering in the West Bank and other Palestinian armed groups. Throughout recent months, Israeli troops have killed scores of Palestinians — not including hard-line aggressors, stone-throwing youths, and regular citizens — and captured large numbers across the West Bank. At the same time, many Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks.
