ISRAELI soldiers have killed more than 150 Palestinians and arrested 600 people, according to Medical Aid for Palestinians - who are calling for urgent protections for hundreds of healthcare workers, patients and civilians sheltering and trapped following a five-day siege of a Gaza hospital.
The military said it killed a Hamas commander who was armed and hiding inside the medical centre, and that one of its own soldiers was killed in the operation. But the evidence fell short of the earlier claims, and critics accused the army of recklessly endangering the lives of civilians. It comes after Israel said it is investigating footage which was shared by Al Jazeera showing unharmed Palestinians in southern Gaza targeted and killed by drones.
In response to the video, she wrote:"The colossal amount of evidence concerning international crimes committed by Israel in Gaza just over the past 6 months could keep the @IntlCrimCourt busy for the next five decades, especially at the current proceedings pace.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
