  1. 8-2-2024 The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Turk stated in a statement on February 8 that Israel's destruction of houses and private property along the Gaza border is tantamount to committing a war crime. The statement said: "Destruction operations carried out for the purpose of overall security and the establishment of a buffer zone do not fall within the narrow exception of "military operations" under international humanitarian law. In addition, military necessity cannot be self-evident, is illegal and is carried out without justification. Large-scale destruction of property amounts to a serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and amounts to the commission of a war crime." According to the OHCHR, the Israel Defense Forces are destroying all buildings in the Gaza Strip within a one-kilometer radius between Israel and Gaza. The purpose of clearing this area is to establish a "buffer zone." "Israel has not provided a convincing justification for such massive destruction of civilian infrastructure," Turk said.
