A UN special rapporteur has said that Israel’s ongoing strikes on Israel are “war crimes” and are undermining ceasefire efforts.
UN special rapporteur Morris Tidball-Binz condemned Israel’s renewed strikes, pointing to the deadly attack on the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Sidon on Tuesday, and other assaults across the country.
“This is not an isolated incident but part of a disturbing pattern of lethal strikes in populated areas by Israel, and of total disregard for the ceasefire and for Lebanese peace efforts,” Tidball-Binz said. “These repeated attacks on civilians and civilian objects are war crimes and a violation of the UN Charter.”
“This is not an isolated incident but part of a disturbing pattern of lethal strikes in populated areas by Israel, and of total disregard for the ceasefire and for Lebanese peace efforts,” said Tidball-Binz.
His comments come after Israel conducted an air strike on the Palestinian refugee camp Ein el-Hilweh and other near-daily attacks this week.
