UN: Hamas, Israel may have committed war crimes with civilian killings during hostage rescue ops

Soundbytes: The U.N. human rights office said on Tuesday (June 11) the killings of civilians in Gaza during the Israeli operation to release four hostages, and also armed groups' holding of captives in densely populated areas, could amount to war crimes. Israel said the operation, accompanied by an air assault, took place on Saturday (June 8) in the heart of a residential neighbourhood in central Gaza's Nuseirat area where Hamas had kept the hostages in two separate apartment blocks. The operation killed more than 270 Palestinians, according to Gazan health officials.
