UN probe claims Israel seeking to ‘destroy’ Gaza healthcare system
Whining. Because of course it’s Israel being bad instead of them aiding and abetting the Hamasniks on their payroll.
[IsraelTimes] Investigators assert Israel has carried out ‘relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities,’ conflate Palestinian security detainees with Gaza hostages

A United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
inquiry claimed Israel has carried out a concerted policy of destroying Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

, actions amounting to both war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination.

A statement Thursday by ex-UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay released ahead of a full report accused Israel of "relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities" in the war, triggered by the Hamas terror group’s massacres in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

"Children in particular have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and indirectly from the collapse of the health system," said Pillay, whose report will be presented to the UN General Assembly on October 30.

Israel has said that while it seeks to avoid civilian fatalities in its fight against Hamas, the Gaza terror group is deeply embedded within the civilian population, and operates from the cover of built-up populated areas including private homes, schools and hospitals.

Captured Death Eaters have confirmed the claims, explaining that Hamas believes Israel will not target them if they hide inside medical facilities.

The UN inquiry’s statement also accused Israeli forces of deliberately killing and torturing medical personnel and targeting medical vehicles — something which Israel has consistently denied doing.

As an example, it cited the death of a Paleostinian girl, Hind Rajab, in February along with family members and two medics who came to rescue her, which was blamed on Israel by the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society.

The IDF said that an initial investigation into the death of the six-year-old suggested that no troops had been in the area at the time. The case was then handed off to the General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism, an independent military body responsible for investigating unusual incidents amid the war.

The UN inquiry further accused Israel of restricting permits for patients to leave the war-torn Gaza Strip.

Following the October 7 terror onslaught, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were seized as hostages, Israel closed the heavily damaged Erez Crossing, which prior to the war had served as a medical corridor for sick Gazooks in need of treatment. While it has since reopened for the delivery of aid to the enclave, along with the Kerem Shalom border crossing, it has not reopened for individual use.

Throughout the first months of the war, close to 5,000 sick and injured Gazooks were able to evacuate via the Rafah Crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border. But the crossing was shuttered in May after the IDF launched an offensive in the southernmost Gaza city, as Egypt said it refused to reopen its side of the crossing until the Gaza side is returned to Paleostinian control.

The World Health Organization has said that over 10,000 patients requiring urgent medical evacuation have been prevented from leaving Gaza since then.

Medical evacuations have nevertheless continued to take place — albeit in a limited and irregular fashion — and in September, the WHO evacuated nearly 100 people, including dozens of children, from Gaza to the United Arab Emirates for treatment.

Conflating the treatment of Paleostinian security detainees in Israel and the 101 hostages held by Hamas Death Eaters in Gaza, the UN statement said that its investigation found both sides to have been involved in carrying out torture and sexual violence.

Hamas has prevented the International Committee of the Red Thingy from visiting the hostages in Gaza since their abduction, and the Red Thingy has in turn said that unless the terror group changes its stance, it cannot access them independently.

In the wake of October 7, Israel banned the Red Thingy from visiting Paleostinian prisoners in Israeli facilities without offering an explanation as to why, or an alternative option. In addition, numerous reports have emerged of abuse by Israeli officials against Paleostinian detainees at the Sde Teiman detention facility close to Beersheba.

However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
dozens of investigations are being conducted into the allegations. So far, one soldier has been indicted for abusing detainees at the facility, while another five are under investigation for the alleged violent mostly peaceful sexual abuse of a detainee. In addition, the High Court of Justice ordered the government in August to explain why it shouldn’t declare the ban on Red Thingy visits to be illegal.

The Commission of Inquiry (COI) has a broad mandate to collect evidence and identify suspected perpetrators of international crimes committed in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It bases its findings on a range of sources including interviews with victims and witnesses, submissions and satellite imagery.

The COI has previously alleged that both Israel and Hamas committed war crimes in the early stages of the Gaza war and that Israel’s actions also constituted crimes against humanity because of the immense civilian losses cited by the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza. The term is reserved for the most serious international crimes knowingly committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians.

The Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry has said that since the outbreak of war, more than 42,000 people have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters.

Israel says it has killed some 17,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,000 Death Eaters inside Israel on October 7.

Israel has not cooperated with the inquiry, which it says has an anti-Israel bias. The COI has accused Israel of obstructing its work and preventing Sherlocks from accessing both Israel and the Paleostinian territories.

Sometimes, the evidence gathered by such UN-mandated bodies has formed the basis for war crimes prosecutions and could be drawn on by the International Criminal Court.

#1 Of course, no mention of Hamas using hospitals for weapons depots, command centers, etc.
