Opening a special session of the UN Human Rights Council, called at the request of Muslim states, Michelle Bachelet said she had seen no evidence that civilian buildings in Gaza hit by Israeli strikes were being used by for military purposes, Reuters reported.
“If found disproportionate, such attacks might constitute war crimes,” she told the 47-member Geneva forum.
The Gaza war began on May 10 and lasted until May 21, when the occupying regime announced a unilateral ceasefire which was accepted, through Egyptian mediation, by the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza.
Throughout the 12-day asymmetrical encounter, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 254 Palestinians, including 66 children, wounded almost 2,000, and displaced over 72,000 people in the besieged enclave.
