Israeli may have committed war crimes by killing 189 Palestinians during Gaza protests last year, says UN report
The report said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe that Israeli snipers knowingly shot at "journalists, health workers, children and persons with disabilities"
A reports by United Nations investigators released on Thursday said that Israeli forces may have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by killing 189 Palestinians and wounding over 6,100 others during protests in Gaza last year.
The report, which examined Israeli soldiers' actions in response to unrest in the Gaza Strip, said that they had found "reasonable grounds" to believe that snipers knowingly shot at "journalists, health workers, children and persons with disabilities," the Daily Mail reported.
The investigation was carried out by a UN commission of inquiry set up by its Human Rights Council. The investigators probed possible violations from the start of the protests on March 30, 2018 through to December 31.
