A long-awaited report by a United Nations special investigative panel concluded that both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas may have been guilty of war crimes during last summer's Gaza war.
The report released Monday said the commission, appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council, gathered “substantial evidence pointing to serious violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights” by both sides that in some cases “may amount to war crimes.”
Both sides immediately rejected the findings, denying any complicity in war crimes, although both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority welcomed the criticism of Israel.
