It depends on who you ask. According to several human rights organizations there is strong evidence that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) forces have committed war crimes. One example from 2015 involves the IDF use of “disproportionate or otherwise indiscriminate attacks” during their bombing of residential areas of Rafah associated with the capture of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin. Israel claims there have been no war crimes.
But Israel has stated, “In keeping with its commitment to observing international law, Israel created a permanent Fact Finding Assessment Mechanism (FFA Mechanism) to compile alleged violations of international law during Operation Protective Edge, approximately 100 incidents in total. The incidents are being investigated by Israel’s Military Advocate General (MAG) which has launched criminal investigations into a number of the alleged violations.” I do not know the real answer. The situation is just as complicated and confusing as all the other issues related to the Palestinians and Israelis.
