legal principle
International humanitarian law requires warring parties to distinguish between civilians and combatants and to verify the nature of any target before launching an attack. When deaths or injuries occur in a civilian environment, the precise facts and circumstances surrounding the use of force become essential elements of any accountability.
Follow-up and fairness
Regarding the incident of “Ismail Qandil’s killing in a motorcycle bombing near Asdaa City”, the wounded should have access to treatment and evacuation, and the families of the victims should have sufficient information and protection from repeated attacks.
