Ending Impunity in Gaza

Since 2007, Israel has launched three major military offensives in the Gaza Strip that have resulted in the deaths and injuries of Palestinian civilians, destruction of homes and civilian property, and damage to essential infrastructures including hospitals, power stations and water systems. All this has occurred in the context of an air, land and naval blockade of Gaza by Israel.

Adalah, together with its partners, has conducted legal actions, international advocacy and media outreach to demand accountability for violations of international humanitarian law by the Israeli authorities, and to demand justice for victims of war crimes by the Israeli military.
