Gaza

Adalah, Al Mezan, and Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights call on Human Rights Council to ensure Israelis responsible for killings, damages during 2014 Gaza war be held accountable.

Israeli military refuses to provide explanation for attack; Adalah, Al Mezan appeals military advocate's decision not to launch criminal investigation.

Amendment to Israel's Civil Wrongs Law illegally releases state from all responsibility for harm caused to civilians, as long as they live in areas declared as 'enemy territory'.

Adalah: Detention of women was illegal as they were forced by military to enter Israeli territory, therefore not ‘illegally staying’ in country.

Adalah and Al Mezan: The military's decision not to investigate, made public two years after the attack, demonstrates entrenched impunity and the need for a thorough and credible investigation.

Adalah and Al Mezan filed joint complaints in 27 cases after 2014 Gaza war involving suspicion of grave violations of int'l law; Israel has not probed even one case in accordance with int'l standards.

Adalah sends complaints to Israeli military, Attorney General demanding return of boats worth tens of thousands of shekels confiscated by Israeli navy.
