Israelis Must be Tried for Killing Gaza Children: Rights Group

Israelis Must be Tried for Killing Gaza Children: Rights Group
According to a report released by the Switzerland-based NGO Defense for Children International group (DCIP) on Tuesday, not a single perpetrator has yet been held accountable for any of the tragic killings.
The report said of 547 Palestinian children who had died during the onslaught, 535 of them had been killed as a direct result of Israeli attacks, adding that the death toll was independently confirmed by the group and that nearly 68 percent of the children had been 12 years old or younger.
It also maintained that 164 of these children had been killed by Israeli drone strikes during the offensive.
“Systemic impunity has enabled Israel to continue its oppressive policies in Gaza where children undoubtedly remain targets. The status quo is not sustainable. Without accountability, Palestinian children will continue to endure the worst of future Israeli military offensives and unending military occupation,” Khaled Quzmar, DCIP’s general director was quoted as saying in the report.
A recent United Nations report notes that the Israeli regime committed war crimes and used huge firepower during last year's Gaza war.

The Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza conflict announced it had received "credible allegations" that war crimes were committed during the Israeli war on the Palestinian territory.
The report is expected to serve as a road map for the inquiry into possible war crimes already underway by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, ICC.
The Israeli regime started military strikes on the blockaded Palestinian territory in early July 2014 and later escalated its attacks with a ground invasion. The war ended in late August that year.
Over 2,200 Palestinians were killed and at least 11,000 were injured during the brutal Israel war on Gaza. Health officials in Gaza say the fatalities included nearly 260 women, adding that more than 3,100 children were also injured.
