10 British Citizens Face Gaza War Crimes – Guardian Newspaper

The Guardian newspaper revealed, Monday, that 10 British citizens who served in the Israeli occupation army face charges of committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip, based on an extensive human rights report prepared for submission to the British Metropolitan Police.

The 240-page report is based on investigations conducted by human rights lawyers, in collaboration with the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza and the London-based Public Interest Law Centre. The report covers serious violations committed between October 2023 and May 2024.

According to the document, the accused soldiers—including Israeli army officers—are suspected of involvement in launching indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas in the Gaza Strip, including hospitals, in addition to causing mass displacement and targeting sites protected under international law.

The report also accuses these individuals of deliberately targeting civilians and aid workers, which may amount to crimes against humanity.

Although the full report includes the names of the accused soldiers, it will not be made public for legal reasons. It was prepared by a team of British lawyers in collaboration with researchers in The Hague according to Qudspress.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
