We strongly condemn attack on the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights whose office in Gaza was struck by an Israeli missile earlier this morning. Strikes targeting civilian buildings is a violation of international law. We are sending our solidarity to

.
Reports that five Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israeli airstrikes today are deeply worrying. The ensuing escalation in violence between Israel and Palestinian armed groups raises fears of a rise in civilian bloodshed. We are closely monitoring the situation.
Palestinian armed groups and Israeli forces must also refrain from carrying out indiscriminate attacks and direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects. These are serious violations of international humanitarian law and constitute war crimes.
Conflicting information is circulating about what exactly hit the
@ichr_pal
office in Gaza and where the attack came from.

Where’s your apology for inciting hate by issuing a false report? The rocket was fired by Iran-backed Islamic Jihad under watch of Hamas Muslim Brotherhood.

Your building has been hit by a rocket fired by a terrorist group from Gaza Strip. Check the videos of the "attack" on Internet and you'll see. "O seu prédio foi atingido por um foguete disparado por terroristas na Faixa de Gaza. Veja os vídeos na Internet que mostram o ataque".

Uh huh. Israeli missile?
Journalist witnessing the event is quite clear it was a Palestinian rocket that malfunctioned. (or functioned just fine and they did this on purpose to blame Israel).
@amnesty
@ICHR_Pal
Pardon me. I can't seem to locate the tweet where you strongly condemn the rocket attacks against Israeli's and Israeli civilian buildings. Attacking civilian buildings violates international law. Will you be sending your solidarity to
@Israel
too? Thanks.

@ICHR_Pal
Lying again. What has become of this once great organization? Members of staff promoting terrorism & not one word on the plight of the Biafran people. Are you motived to lie by an underlying current of antisemitism in your organisation?

It was an Islamic Jihad rocket launched towards Israel that fell short and launched directly into a building, live stream footage is very evident, and is extremely easy to find.
Do better.
