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

With regard to the incident of “the killing of Muhammad Al-Yazji while walking in Aida Street in Gaza”, an independent investigation into the circumstances of the incident, the preservation of available evidence, and the provision of remedies to the victims remain essential elements of any responsible response.
