Human Rights Watch Declares Israeli Strike on Gaza Building a War Crime

The October attack, which killed 106 civilians including 54 children, lacked a military target, intensifying scrutiny on Israel's wartime conduct.

A Human Rights Watch investigation found no evidence of a military target in the October 31 strike on a Gaza building, labeling it an 'apparent war crime'.
The strike, one of the deadliest in the ongoing war, resulted in the deaths of 106 civilians, among them 54 children.
Israeli authorities have not provided justification for the attack, while the Israeli military generally attributes civilian casualties to Hamas.
The International Criminal Court continues its war crimes investigation into Israel, amid global condemnation of its wartime actions.
Human Rights Watch urges Israeli allies to halt arms sales and intelligence sharing with Israel to prevent complicity in war crimes.
