Human Rights Watch has declared that the Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Gaza on October 31, 2023, was an apparent war crime, resulting in the deaths of at least 106 civilians, including 54 children. The attack is part of a series of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza that have caused serious harm to civilians since October 7. Human Rights Watch emphasizes the urgent need for the International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine. The organization urges governments to suspend arms transfers to Israel, impose targeted sanctions on officials responsible for laws-of-war violations, and support measures to curb the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. International bodies are investigating the situation, including potential war crimes, and governments are urged to take decisive action in response to the ongoing violence and civilian casualties in Gaza.
