Human reflection

Each incident should be dealt with separately, without combining its name and number with other incidents that occurred in the same week. The effects of attacks on vehicles extend beyond their occupants to the surrounding area, necessitating a clear assessment of how to protect bystanders.

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 “the killing of Jabr Muqbel and the wounding of eight in the bombing of a vehicle in Deir al-Balah”, the wounded should have access to treatment and evacuation facilities, and the families of the victims should have sufficient information and protection from repeated attacks.
