Tuesday, 24 August 2021 (YJC)_ Human Rights Watch said that the Zionist regime has not provided any evidence to support the claim that Palestinian groups had used the Gaza Strip militarily, adding that Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip could be a war crime.

Human Rights Watch: Israeli attacks on Gaza towers could be war crimesHuman Rights Watch said Israeli airstrikes that destroyed four large towers in Gaza during last May's war violated the law and could be considered a war crime.

"Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip also damaged nearby buildings, displaced dozens of families and shut down dozens of companies that provided livelihoods for many people," the group said in a report, according to Russia Today.

"Israeli officials justified their attacks on the Hanadi, Al-Jawhara, Al-Shorouk and Al-Jalaa towers in Gaza on the grounds that they were used for military purposes, but did not provide any evidence to substantiate their claim," the report said.
